baqa'

Etymology
From. The final root letter was added by analogy: When  began to be vowelised, the paradigm generally remained distinct from the paradigm of actual vocalic verbs on the basis of vowel colour; compare  from, , versus , from ,. However, in the verb the vowel colour had been influenced by the preceding , and thus was it eventually integrated into the għ-class. Compare the same in, from.
