Talk:حيي

Error
The third-person masculine plural past active is not. —176.225.229.53 04:13, 3 November 2019 (UTC)
 * This appears to have been taken into consideration already. Wiktionary's Module:ar-verb, the Lua module responsible for generating these conjugation tables, includes the following note on حي/حيي in its comments:

[...] In masculine third plural, expected ḥayū is replaced by ḥayyū by   analogy to the -yy- parts, and the regular form is not given as an    alternant in John Mace. Barron's 201 verbs appears to have the regular ḥayū as the part, however.


 * If you have more sources than those two that would back up over  (and/or you want to make the case for including both) then that would be something to take up with User:Benwing2, the module's creator/maintainer. M. I. Wright (talk) 04:26, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your response, I probably would have missed this. I seem to remember that John Mace's book was more trustworthy than Barron's in various respects, which is why I went with Mace's variant. Benwing2 (talk) 05:17, 4 November 2019 (UTC)
 * For what it's worth, لسان العرب (which our IP friend suggested I check) describes both forms!
 * The حيا entry goes on for pages after that, and I'm not too up to the task of reading through all of it for further insight, but I caught this near the beginning and it seemed rather relevant. (Also interesting is the conjugation يَحَيُّ given alongside يَحْيَا.) M. I. Wright (talk) 06:20, 8 November 2019 (UTC)
