Usage notes
[edit]- The phrase ܕܐܵܬ݂ܹܐ (d-āṯē) is not a true adjective, but rather, is grammatically a relative clause (literally meaning “that will come”). As a result, it does not inflect for definiteness, and its feminine singular and plural forms are the conjunction ܕ- (d-) plus the third-person feminine singular future tense and third-person plural future tense (respectively) of the verb ܐܵܬ݂ܹܐ (āṯē).
