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))

  1. Arabs, true Arabs
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).
