Master core Arabic grammar with Caspari’s classic reference

A thorough, century‑old study that guides readers through nouns, gender, and the formation of relative adjectives. This edition offers clear explanations and tested examples to support study and teaching of classical Arabic.

This book focuses on the noun in Arabic, including how gender works, how to tell feminine forms from masculine, and how count and collectives behave. It also covers how to form relative adjectives (nomina relativa) and how these relate to origin, family, trade, and other connections. The text includes practical notes on noun classes, such as collective nouns and nomina vasis, helping readers understand structure and use in context. While rooted in traditional grammar, the material is presented to support learning and reference needs for students, teachers, and scholars.

Clear rules for noun gender, including signs of feminine and masculine usage.
Practical guidance on forming nomina relativa from various parts of speech.
Discussion of special noun classes like collective nouns and vessel names.
Examples and notes that illuminate historical and linguistic context.

Ideal for readers of classical Arabic grammar, linguistics students, and library reference collections seeking a rigorous, historical treatment of noun structure and related adjectives.
