Parallel reading

الارض مؤنثة، وهى اسم جنس.

The earth is feminine, and it is a collective noun.

والجمع أرضات، لانهم قد يجمعون المؤنث الذى ليس فيه هاء التأنيث بالالف والتاء، كقولهم عرسات.

And the plural is 'ardāt', because they pluralize a feminine noun without 'taa' marbuta' with 'alif' and 'taa', as they say 'urusāt'.

ثم قالوا أرضون فجمعوا بالواو والنون، والمؤنث لا يجمع بالواو والنون إلا أن يكون منقوصا كثبته وظبة، ولكنهم جعلوا الواو والنون عوضا من حذفهم الالف والتاء، وتركوا فتحة الراء على حالها.

Then they said 'arḍūn' and pluralized with 'waw' and 'nun', and a feminine noun is not pluralized with 'waw' and 'nun' unless it is defective like 'thubbah' and 'ẓubbah', but they made the 'waw' and 'nun' a substitute for their omission of 'alif' and 'taa', and left the 'ra' vowel as it was.

وقد تجمع على أروض.

And it may be pluralized as 'arūḍ'.

وزعم أبو الخطاب أنهم يقولون أرض وآراض مثل أهل وآهال.
