Back4 SUPERLATIVE NOUN: The masculine singular of the superlative noun is constructed by placing the three base letters on the pattern of ( أَفْعَلtable 15.1). For example, replacing the fā’ ف ain , عand lām ل positions in this pattern with ( ك-ب-رto be big) forms ( أَكْبَر a male who is biggest or a male who is bigger).
