مُرَكَّبٌ مَنْعُ

مُرَكَّبٌ مَنْعُ is a phrase in which two words are joined to form a single word.

Rule:

1. The first part of this phrase is always مَفْتُوْحٌ

2. The second part changes according to the عَامِلٌ.

Example 1:

حَضَرَمَوْتُ

Death became present

حَضَرَمَوْتُ is the name of a region in Yemen. It is composed of two words حَضَرَ and مَوْتُ.

• حَضَرَ is a فَعْلٌ which means ‘he/it became present’
• حَضَرَ is مَفْتُوْحٌ
• مَوْتُ is a إِسْمٌ, which means death.

Thus literally حَضَرَمَوْتُ means ‘(a place where) death became present’.

Example 2:

بَعْلَبَكٌ

Death became present

بَعْلَبَكٌ is a city in Lebanon. It is composed of two words بَعْلَ and بَكٌ.

• بَعْلَ is a إِسْمٌ, which was a name of an idol.
• بَعْلَ is مَفْتُوْحٌ
• بَكٌ is a إِسْمٌ, which was a name of a king.
