Description

The first word of verse (3:104) is divided into 3 morphological segments. A resumption particle, imperative particle and verb. The connective particle wa is usually translated as "then" or "so" and is used to indicate a sequence of events. The prefixed particle lām is usually translated as "let" and is used to form an imperative construction. The imperfect verb (فعل مضارع) is third person feminine singular and is in the jussive mood (مجزوم). The verb's triliteral root is kāf wāw nūn (ك و ن). The verb (تكن) belongs to a special group of words known as kāna and her sisters (كان واخواتها).
