COMMON INTERPRETATIONS of 99

ADVERBS in 3 Visuals

PP vs AP

Prepositional Phrase Vs Adverbial PhraseWords like qabla, ba’da, iza and iz work (in terms of force and link) like prepositions. That is why, at the start, it is useful to see them as such. But as you advance your learning, you may need to update your understanding of that to align it with what’s out there.The process may seem tedious but it’s actually not; you need to do just ONE TWEAK that leads to just 2 more sub-tweaks. Once you do it step-by step, aided by the visuals below, it will get clearer and most possibly satisfying.Let’s begin with the basic elements of Prepositional Phrase:1 CATEGORY: Particle
2 FUNCTION: Preposition (so OoP succeeds it)
3 FORCE: Drag
4 LINK: To Verb/NounScenario is qabla is a preposition: When qabla (function-wise) is regarded as a preposition, it follows that it is a particle. Why? Simply because prepositions belong to the category of particles. Were I the king of Arabic grammar, I would have issued a royal decree to make words like qabla as prepositions forever. But then, we live in a democratic world. So, yeah.What is that ONE TWEAK? See qabla not as a particle, but a noun. Here:1 CATEGORY: Particle Noun
2 FUNCTION: Preposition Adverb (so OoP Possessive succeeds it)
3 FORCE: Drag
4 LINK: To Verb/NounThat’s it. A category tweak that leads to functions tweaks. But Force and Link remain.

The 3 States of Qabl (a-i-u)

(1) Original State (Fixed on Fatha)Category: Noun
Function: Adv (+ Possessive)
Force: Drag
Link: Verb (usually preceding)(2) Exceptional State 1 (Dragged with a Kasra)Category: Noun
Function: OoP (+ Possessive)
Force: Drag
Link: Verb (usually preceding)(3) Exceptional State 2 (Fixed on Damma)Category: Noun
Function: Adv (+ nothing)
Force: Drag
Link: Verb (usually preceding)Since qablu here is fixed, but also preceded by a preposition, we say qablu is in the drag-position as OoP. I know this would seem nonsensical, but try to wrap your head around it. If you can’t, just drop it and move on with life. It’s not a ticket to heaven anyway.If you want to do with nothing of the above, remember this:1) When you see qablA, it means ‘before’.
2) When you see min qabli, it means ‘from before’. (weird phrase, I know)
3) When you see qablU, it means ‘ before this’.

The Conditional Structure of
إِذَا as Adverb

What applies to adverbs generally, also applies to إِذَا:Category: Noun
Function: Adverb (+ Poss)
Force: Drag
Link: VerbBut with one addition; that Iza has a conditional structure that comes after it, comprising:Conditional Verb + Response (at times a Response Nominal, not Verbal)In this case, the conditional verb structure gets into the drag-position as a Possessive after إِذَا.And إِذَا as an adverb is linked to the Response Verb.

Post-Class Update
Week 5 of 12

[1] We covered Surah 100 from Verse 1 to Verse 8. This surah is of 3 parts: those that run (1-5) ingratitude of man (6-8) All-Knowingness of God (9-11).[2] All 3 classes will resume on Zoom in July.[3] Some functions we covered:
- Absolute OoV
- Adverb of Time
- State
- The Nominal Structure Preceded by InnaSome explanations on the above:
Absolute OoV is not a frequent function in Arabic sentences. But when it occurs, it is usually about the noun (OoV) that contains the same roots of its verb (V). That is why it is also called a Cognate Object. It’s like saying I beat him a beating, with ‘beat’ as V and ‘a beating’ as Absolute OoV. In Arabic, it is “ضَرَبْتُهُ ضَرْبًا”.Here's a link in Corpus that explains this concept of Cognate Object: http://corpus.quran.com/documentation/cognateaccusative.jspAs mentioned in class, all the 3 last words in the first 3 verses are given (by me) the function of Absolute OoV to a verb that has to be implied for that to be possible. That’s one way of simple parsing. Another way, if you refer to corpus, is that dobhan is given the function of ‘state’ as it is describing the state of those that run (al-aadiyaat). State in principle is lifted, therefore Dobhan, not dobhun.
In Verse 3, subhan can also be given the function of Time Adverb which is in principle lifted. Therefore subhan, not subhun.To sum up, whoever you see a lifted noun,
- Begin with the possibility that it is OoV (or Absolute OoV)
- If it is not, among other possibilities are State, Adverb, Exception (if it comes after illa إِلَّا) or SoN / Subject of Inna (if it comes after inna إِنَّ), or Follower (if what it follows if lifted) or Specifier (if you still remember this function). I think there would be a couple of tables containing this information.When it is State, it is usually translated as “in the state of …”, and when it is adverb, it is usually translated as “at / in the ….” (at dawn for subhan), and when it is specifier, it is usually translated as “in terms of”, for example أَنَا أَكْبَرُ مِنْهُ عُمْرًا is translated as ‘I am greater than him (in terms of) age’.[4] A note on Corpus: what I am teaching has great similarity to what is contained in Corpus. Once this program is over, it's good to refer to Corpus whenever you need to parse something from the Quran. But for now it is relatively challenging because of two main reasons: the Arabic terms and the the arrows.Corpus uses the theory of dependency grammar while I use the theory of movers. So, when you have V and SoV, in Corpus, the arrow will point to V because SoV is dependent on V. But in Rootword Method, we point the arrow to SoV because its V pushes (moves) it. Summing up, you need to be familiar with at least 2 main things to grasp Corpus: terms, and arrows in reverse. Below is a pdf that contains grammatical terms in Arabic and English (plus brief explanations). It's not perfect. But you may take it as a guide for now. Before a better one comes up.

"The bar was was walked into by the passive voice." - Anon

Big Picture Parsing Method
Understanding Passive Verbs
Understanding Adverbs
__________________________Big Picture Parsing MethodIn Week 6 Video, we parsed Verse 6 to 11 of Surah 100 not using VPAPN, but Big Pic Method. This method is perhaps pretty much simpler than VPAPN. Both methods can be used alongside the Sentence Master Tempate. (This is not a new addition to anything that we have learned)The trick is to identify the Core Part of any sentence first (Verbal or Nominal). In order to do so, you must already know the meanings of each word in a sentence. Once you have identified a sentence core (giving you a handle to navigate the sentence), it is much easier to identify the Pre-Core (particles) and the Post-Core (Prep-OoP, Oov, State, Specifier, Exception).Bear in mind that Possessives and Followers would not be strictly in the Core Component or the Post-Core Component; they can be in either. Why? Because a Possessive (or a Follower) is just the second part of a phrase comprising two nouns. Therefore, if the first part of it is in the Core Component, then the Possessive/Follower is also in the Core Component. If Post-Core, then there it is also.We also discussed that whenever you see a lifted noun, it can either be one of the following 7 functions: OoV, State, Specifier, Exception, Follower of a Lifted Noun, SoN of Inna, PoN of Kaana. (Again, all of these functions are in the Master Sentence Template).Understanding Passive VerbsWe also focused specifically on Passive Verbs.A sentence containing an active verb would be quite straightforward, having a Verb, Subject and Object. However, one that contains a passive verb is a bit troublesome to parse. The trick though is to be familiar with the following 3 steps:ACTIVE:
ضَرَبَ عَلِيٌّ مُحَمَّدًا
Muhammad-Ali-struck
[OoV - SoV - V]STEP 1: To change verb to passive, apply the u-i pattern and add ‘was’. (For present verbs, apply the u-a pattern)ضُرِبَ} عَلِيٌّ مُحَمَّدًا}
Muhammad-Ali-{was}struck
[OoV - SoV - V]STEP 2: Omit the SoVضُرِبَ عَلِيٌّ مُحَمَّدًا
Muhammad-Ali-was-struck
[OoV - SoV - V]STEP 3: OoV takes over the push-force of SOV (Muhammadan to Muhammadun) and becomes “Deputy SoV”.{ضُرِبَ {مُحَمَّدٌ
Muhammad-was-struck
[{d-SoV} - V]Understand the above, and you’ll be able to apply this to all sound verbs in the Quran.Understanding AdverbsThe topic of adverbs is confusing if not handled step-by-step. Previously, we equated adverbs with prepositions in order to simplify things, just because they share the same drag-force, and there was no need to differentiate the two. As we’ve practised parsing more verses, you would have noticed that adverbs are quite troublesome if you don’t have a firmer grip on them.For a start, let’s start with the first difference.(To see the list of prepositions and adverbs, see Sentence Master Template.)Prepositions like fi, li, and min are fundamentally particles. Even though adverbs like qabla, ba’da, and tahta have meanings that may imply they are particles, they are actually considered nouns. Why? Because they have 3 root letters. In other words, you can consider them “particles” meaning-wise, but nouns form-wise. Now why is this important? 2 reasons, for a start.Reason 1: In an adverbial phrase, if an adverb is a noun, then the succeeding noun that it drags becomes a Possessive. In contrast, a prepositional phrase would comprise a preposition and an object of preposition (OoP).Reason 2: An adverbial phrase can look so awkward, such as يَوْمَئِذٍ which is actually يَوْمَ + إِذْ = that day + when. Even though إِذْ is fixed on sukun, because it is relatively a frequent phrase used by the Arabs, it takes on a double kasrah as it is dragged by the adverb يَوْمَ .Anyway, the most important point here is this. Whenever you encounter يَوْمَئِذٍ , it is originally of 3 components:يَوْمَ + إِذْ + the nearest preceding verbIn the case of Verse 11 of Surah 100, it becomes:يَوْمَ + إِذْ + حُصِّلَ مَا فِي الصُّدُورThat day + when + what is in the hearts are made apparent.A final note: There are other instances when adverbial structures can pose challenges. We’ll touch on that in another lesson.

THE TAQWA WORKSHOP
A 5-Week Webinar
One-Off Ramadan Event for Rootword Alumni

10 April to 8 May, 2021
Saturdays, 900am - 1015am

What This Is About

If there's one practice that trumps all others in life, it's about Conscious Praying for that which one desires. And this can only be first understood via the conceptual and contextual meanings of niyyah (Conscious Intention), du'a (Conscious Prayer) and taqwa (God-consciousness).

The Taqwa Method

This workshop will provide a crystal clear process of how you can begin leading a more conscious and creative life using your God-given consciousness, creativity and common sense.

THE KEYSTONE PRACTICE
1k*(Words)In 10 Weeks

Saturdays, 9 Jan to 27 Mar 2021
Twelve Weeks | 900am - 1030am

What This Is About

If there's one practice that trumps all others in gaming QA Grammar, it's sentence parsing.

Classical Vs Keystone

Classical Parsing, however, focuses only on syntax (word relations) + is done using Arabic terms. Keystone Parsing includes morphology (word patterns) + is done in English; this makes your practice more grounded + more understandable. How do I know this? I did both; so that you need not do the first.

Why 10k?
(corrected to 1k)

For visual purposes, imagine Bruce Lee. He said: fear not someone who can do 10 thousand different kicks, but the one who practises one kick 10 thousand times. What is that one kick for QA? Keystone Parsing. Yes I said this 10k times already; I promise this is the last :-) [30 Dec 2012 | *Oops: I just realised it's not 10k but 1k.. sorry for the huge miscalculation.. lol]

Timeline and Breakdown

Week 1: Introducing Parsing Guide
Week 2-11: Parsing 10k Words
Week 12: Wrap UpWe'll take at least 10 lines (=100 words) per week for 10 weeks (=1k Words) from surahs on which Corpus Quran has already provided the parsing maps (Surahs 1 to 8, and 59 to 114).0830: Preclass Warmup - Optional
0900: 10-Line Parsing Practice
1000: 10-Line Simple Translation
1030: End

1 AlternativesIf you are interested to join the Keystone Prac, but cannot make it on Saturday, just inform me and I'll see what I can do. Alternatively, if the COP launches, that is also an avenue through which you can keep with your progress.2 Central Online Platform (COP):

There will be a separate announcement on an exclusive member-site for 2021 that will gradually house all the Rootword Materials contained in our previous online platforms - no, this is unlike the previous platforms. All Rootword Alumni will be invited (even if you aren't joining the keystone), and most possibly other like-minded people in the later future. The idea behind this is that there is no other initiative in the world doing QA as we are doing it: parsing using English + a wacky "mover theory"; you may not be aware of the significance of what you are doing right now. Only you and I understand the language of watch, push and flip. I'm quite excited for this, if you can feel the tone of my words :-) If this is something you are also interested in, wait for the announcement soon. The image above is an example of what will be shared in COP.

TRANSLATION PRACTICE CIRCLE

DATES: 13 Oct - 8 Dec (except 27 Oct)
TIME: 9am - 11am, Saturdays
VENUE: AlQudwahMonth 1: Meaning-Based TranslationWe'll follow 3 simple steps1- Identify Word Type
2- Identify Word Meaning
3- Translate Sentence IntuitivelyThe aim for this month is to translate as many words, phrases and sentences as possible to build momentum and confidence before you proceed to pattern-based translation. For this, naturally the translations that will arise from this preliminary process will not be perfect but still correct; it will be the launchpad for the pattern translation level. Four main tools are used: Verb/Noun Canvas, List of Unrooted Words, Quran App Dictionary (Arabic Almanac - PR for iPhones, and Arabic Dictionaries for Androids)Month 2: Pattern-Based TranslationWe'll follow 3 more structured steps1- Identifying Word Pattern (V11/N3/P4)
2- Identifying Phrase Type (V-P-A-P-N)
3- Identifying Proper Translations for each word and phraseFor this month, you do not suffice with translating word to meaning, but word to pattern to meaning. This more-structured-process may lead to the same translation results of meaning-based process, but additionally it will enable you to have a more grounded mindset whenever you put on the pattern cap when translating Arabic. Five Decoding Tools are used: Verb/Noun Canvas, Verb Table, Noun Charts, Harf Charts, App Dictionary.What will be approximately covered week-by-week:Week 1: Demo of Meaning-Based Speed Translation and explanation of processesWeek 2: Guided DIY TranslationWeek 3: Guided DIY TranslationWeek 4: Demo of Pattern-Based TranslationWeek 5: Explanation of ProcessesWeek 6: Guided DIY TranslationWeek 7: Guided DIY TranslationWeek 8: Random Translation ChallengeMost of the resources we will use are what you have already received. You will be given a handout of the verses for translation (most probably the first few pages of Surah Al-Baqarah or critical verses from the Quran) and two progress tracker pages: one on process tracker, and another on content tracker on how many words you have translated based on their categories (11 verb forms, 3/17 noun types, 4 harf types).If you are keen to join and the timing is suitable, you may register.The fee is the regular amount you are previously charged with even though the number of students would be below 10. This is because AlQudwah kindly granted a special concession to the class rental for the next 8 weeks.Fees: $110/mth x 2(If you do not opt for access to online materials, fees would be $100 x 2)As usual, you can make a transfer to an account below or pay during class.PayNow 87536364, or

A 60-Day Email Program To Conquer 50% of the Quran
From 1 April 2019

To get 50% of the Quran covered, how many hi-frequency words should you conquer?In a nutshell, 60.What does that really mean?Take for example مِنْ, the highest frequency word in the Quran. It's repeated 3226 times covering 4.16% of the Quran.Couple that with الله whose frequency is 2699, and you would have “completed” 7.65% of the Quran. At the 60th word, you would have 50% of the Quran covered.But wait, it's not as numbered as that. Other factors are at play for the percentage to be optimally realized. Take the multiple-meaning factor, for instance. مِنْ has multiple meanings; ignore them, and the percentage is compromised.Another factor is knowing the word-variation. A 3-letter verb can transform into 3 tenses and up to 10 forms. A noun likewise can either be proper, common, or derived (from a verb). Knowing these details greatly help in fulfilling the percentage.What's a measured path to that?Enter: The 7-Step Word Conquering ProcessHere is where the Rootword Method 7-step word conquering process comes into the picture.Which means, for every frequency word, you seek to conquer all its 7 dimensions without even memorizing it, since you are going to look at it from 7 sides anyway.WHAT YOU WILL GETDaily Emails for 60 Days: You’ll be emailed at least one page a day (usually more) to conquer one frequency word with an explanation of all its 7 elements, with examples from the Quran numbering the quantity of main meanings the word has. Welcome email will be sent on April 1. The first of the 60 words begin on 7 April (Sha'ban 1) and ends on the final day of Ramadan.BONUSEbook: Once the program ends, you get everything in the form of an e-book.1 page a day. 60 Days. 60 Words. Aiming for 50% of the Quran. Wait no more. Pre-order now.
