وإنما جاء بالواو لانه بنى على التأنيث في أول أحواله وكذلك النهاية، فلم تكن الواو والياء حرفي إعراب

It came with a wāw because it was constructed on femininity in its early stages, as was the case with al-nihāyah, so the wāw and yā' were not letters of inflection.

تقول: شقى الرجل، انقلبت الواو ياء لكسرة ما قبلها.

You say: 'shaqiya al-rajul' (the man became miserable), the wāw turned into a yā' due to the kasrah before it.

ويشقى انقلبت في المضارع ألفا لفتحة ما قبلها.

And 'yashqā' (he becomes miserable) in the present tense, the wāw turned into an alif due to the fatḥah before it.

ثم تقول: يشقيان، فيكونان كالماضي.

Then you say: 'yashqiyān' (they dual become miserable), and they become like the past tense.

وأشقاه الله يشقيه فهو شقي بين الشقوة بالكسر، وفتحه لغة.
