• Today we are going to learn the last type of the weak verbs which is the Lafeef verb الفعل اللفيف .
• We said before that a weak verb is that which has one or two sick or vowel letters in its root form.
• The letters that make a verb sick/weak are: Waw (و ), Alif (ا ) and Yaa (ى ).
• The position of the sick letter in the root verb determines the type of the weak verb.

Definition:

      A Lafeef (Enfolding) لفيف Verb is that which has two weak (vowel) letters in its root form.

• Lafeef verbs consist of two types according to the position of the two weak letters in the root :

1. Lafeef Mafrooq اللفيف المفروق : Here the root verb has the first and third (final) letters weak (vowels); e.g. وعى = to understand and وقى = to protect.  
2. Lafeef Maqroon اللفيف المقرون : Here the root verb has the second (middle) and third (final) letters weak (vowels); e.g. روى  = to narrate / to irrigate and طوي = to fold 

The table below shows the different tense forms of this  type of verbs;

(Note 1 : The rules of gender and number we studied earlier apply to these verb tenses.)

(Note 2 : Lafeef Mafrooq verbs are treated like Mithaal and Naaqis verbs we studied earlier.)

(Note 3: Lafeef Maqroon verbs are treated only like Naaqis verbs. )
