فإن مددت أو قصرت لم تصرف، وإن حذفت الالف صرفت.
If you elongate or shorten it, it is not diptote (does not take tanwin); and if you delete the alif, it is diptote.
وتثنية الممدود زكرياوان، والجمع زكرياءون وزكرياوين في النصب والخفض.
And the dual of the elongated form is Zakariyawan, and the plural is Zakariyā'ūn and Zakariyāwīn in the accusative and genitive.
والنسبة إليه زكرياوى.
And the attribution to it is Zakariyāwī.
وإذا أضفته إلى نفسك قلت زكريائى بلا واو، كما تقول حمرائى.
And when you attribute it to yourself, you say Zakariyā'ī without a waw, as you say Hamrā'ī.
وفى التثنية زكرياواى بالواو، لانك تقول زكرياوان.
And in the dual, it is Zakariyāwāy with a waw, because you say Zakariyāwān.
وفى الجمع زكرياوى بكسر الواو، ويستوى فيه الرفع والخفض والنصب كما يستوى في مسلمى وزيدي.
And in the plural, it is Zakariyāwī with a kasrah on the waw, and it is the same in the nominative, genitive, and accusative, just as it is the same in Muslimān and Zaydān.
وتثنية المقصور زكرييان، تحرك ألف زكريا لاجتماع الساكنين فتصيرها ياء.
And the dual of the shortened form is Zakariyān, the alif of Zakariyā is moved due to the meeting of two silent letters, making it a ya.
وفى النصب: رأيت زكريين، وفى الجمع هؤلاء زكريون حذفت الالف لاجتماع الساكنين، ولم تحركها لانك لو حركتها ضممتها، ولا تكون الياء مضمومة ولا مكسورة وما قبلها متحرك، فللذلك خالف التثنية.
And in the accusative: 'I saw Zakariyayn', and in the plural 'These are Zakariyyūn'. The alif is deleted due to the meeting of two silent letters, and it is not moved because if it were moved, it would be dammah, and the ya cannot be dammah or kasrah while its preceding letter is mutaharrik (voweled); therefore, it differs from the dual.
