Talk:تكافأ

From Wiktionary, the free dictionary
Jump to navigation Jump to search

Though the third stem كافأ means “to reward”, the meaning “to be rewarded” is not given in dictionaries for the sixth stem تكافأ, but “to be on par” – this is remarkable and points to it not being present, as the VIth stem is usually a reflexive of the IIIrd. One might have an idea how the creator of the entry for the sixth stem, which is identical for the third, @Dick Laurent, could have fallen to this misperception. If one searches for تكافأ, one reads such a passive meaning: But those constructions are all the inflectional passive of the third stem.
