Arabic
[edit]Etymology 1
[edit]Univerbation of لَـ (la-, “truly, indeed, verily”) and عَلَّ (ʕalla).
Pronunciation
[edit]Particle
[edit]لَعَلَّ • (laʕalla)
Usage notes
[edit]- لَعَلَّ (laʕalla) functions like إِنَّ (ʔinna) and أَنَّ (ʔanna), shifting the subject of the clause to the accusative case. The subject of the clause must immediately follow لَعَلَّ (laʕalla); if it is a pronoun, it must be expressed.
- Unlike لِ (li), لِكَي (likay), and حَتَّى (ḥattā), لَعَلَّ (laʕalla) places its subordinate verb in the indicative mood, even when used to mean "in order," "so that."
