Hijazi Arabic

Etymology

From Arabic مُرَبَّى‎ (murabbā).

Pronunciation

• IPA^(key): /murabːa/

Noun

مربى • (murabba) f (construct state مربى (murabbat) or مربة‎ (murabbat), dual مربتين‎ (murabbatēn), plural مُرَبَّات‎ (murabbāt))

Usage notes

In Hejazi the noun is feminine and even though it ends in an /-a/, it still follows the feminine noun rule in construct state and dual number; مُرَبَّتين‎ (murabbatēn) instead of مُرَبَّيَانِ‎ (murabbayāni).
