      • min ʾiyyām il-madrase miš ḥākyīn
      • We haven't spoken since [our] school days.

Usage notes

  • The underlying form is min, but the pronunciation is determined by the phonotactical environment. The medial -i- will usually be deleted following vowels (including epenthetic linking vowels as in the example above).
  • Suffixes are attached to the stem minn-, for example منك (minnak, from you). The third-person singular feminine merges with the first-person plural as منا (minna, from her; from us). However, the feminine may also be realized as منها (minha), and the plural occasionally as منِنا (minina, specifically /mɪnina/), to avoid confusion. (The latter change is rarer, but can be seen somewhat-more-commonly in analogous dialectical derivations of the stem إن (inn-, that).)
