Hello,
according to Wehr, there is a verb 'tafarzana' derived from the
(Persian?) root 'frzn' (queen in chess). Now, Wehr classifies it in the
II form. In my understanding of the Arabic verbal system, 'tafarzana'
looks more like a VII form verb. With a II form verb, I would expect a
doubling of a middle radical; nothing like this happens here. On the
other hand, an Arabic verb beginning with 'ta-' sounds to me like a VI
or VII form.
Can someone sort that out?
Thanks
Raymond
