Verb

بِيْقَل or بيقل • (biygul or biyigul)

Usage notes

Indirect object pronouns (لي, لها, لهم etc.) shorten long vowels when added after hollow present verb forms (e.g قول, شوف, عيد etc.), so the verb يقول (yigūl) becomes يِقُول لك (yigullak) or يِقُل لك (yigullak) depending on the writer.

Alternative forms

• بِيْقول (biygūl)
