وهذا مما جاء على أصله شاذا لأن كل ما كان على فعال من الأسماء أبدل من أحد حرفي تضعيفه ياء مثل دينار وقيراط كراهية أن يلتبس بالمصادر، إلا أن يكونع بالهاء فيخرج على أصله، مثل دنابة وصنارة ودنامة وخنابة، لأنه الآن قد أمن التباسه بالمصادر، ورجل خناب: ضخم في عبالة، والجمع خنائب.

And this is among what came against its rule unusually, because everything that was on the 'fa'al' pattern from nouns had one of its doubled letters replaced by 'ya' like 'dinar' and 'qirat' to avoid confusion with masdars, unless it ends with 'ha' so it follows its rule, like 'danabah', 'sinnarah', 'dinamah', and 'khanabah', because it is now safe from confusion with masdars. And a 'khanab' man: is stout and bulky, and the plural is 'khana'ib'.
