جمع التكسير— Broken Plural
Broken plural (جمع التكسير) changes a noun's internal vowel pattern instead of adding a suffix — كتاب becomes كُتُب,رجل becomes رجال, بيت becomes بيوت. The patterns must be memorized noun by noun. A non-human broken plural is grammatically treated as a feminine singular for agreement.
