لات

Etymology
Apparently borrowed from late /.

Verb

 * 1)  not to be

Usage notes

 * This particle is scarcely used even in Classical Arabic, with only one Qur'anic example. Largely this limited use is due to its grammatical requirements; usage is restricted by three very specific rules:
 * It must only be found in front of a noun, never a verb or particle.
 * The noun being negated must be a noun of time; as an adverb it is placed in the accusative case in the same manner found with.
 * The subject of the sentence must be omitted.

Noun

 * 1) lout, hooligan
