Our textbooks do not pay much attentio n to the meaning of these auxiliary. However, this topic is widely covered in the scientific works of both classical grammarians and modern grammarians. We have tried to summarize all the information in these works and show all the meanings of this primitive auxiliary. To shed more light on this, we have used various sources, such as the following and many other works, including the medieval grammar of Mahmud az-Zamahshari’s “Al-mufassal fin-nahvi”, and Abdul-Qahir al-Jurjani’s “Hundred Factors in Arabic Nahvi”, the famous and one of the modern Lebanese scholars Antoine al-Dahdah’s “Mu’jamul lug’atin-nahvil arabi”, “Al-kamil fin-nahvi vas-sarfi val I’rab” by Ahmad Qabbis, a well-known Syrian linguist, Al-Ardabiyli’s commentary on Az-Zamahshari’s “Al-unmuzaj fin-nahvi”, B.M.Grande’s “Arabic Grammar Course in Comparative-Historical Lighting”
