عَرَب (ʕarabf or m pl (collective, singulative عَرَبِيّ m (ʕarabiyy), plural عُرُوب (ʕurūb) or أَعْرُب (ʔaʕrub) or عُرْبَان (ʕurbān) or عُرُب (ʕurub), paucal عَرَب (ʕarab))

Usage notes
[edit]

According to Lane's Arabic Lexicon (entry عرب, book I, p. 2045), عَرَب (ʕarab) is of the feminine gender. However, since the word is a collective noun with human referents, it is possible for it to be treated as either a masculine plural or a feminine singular noun. For example, the Wikipedia entry has الْعَرَب الْبَاقِيَة الَّذِين (al-ʕarab al-bāqiya allaḏīn ..., the remaining Arabs who ...) with بَاقِيَة (bāqiya, remaining), a feminine singular, but الَّذِين (allaḏīn, who), a masculine plural. Semantically, such nouns often refer to races and ethnic groups. For similar collective nouns, see عَجَم (ʕajam, Non-Arabs), كُرْج (kurj, Georgians), فُرْس (furs, Persians), تُرْك (turk, Turks), كُرْد (kurd, Kurds), رُوم (rūm, Romans), and رُوس (rūs, Rus Vikings).
