The Feminine Ending -at as a Diptote in the Qurʾānic Consonantal Text and Its Implications for Proto-Arabic and Proto-Semitic
Open accessAbstract
This paper examines the feminine ending -at in the Qurʾānic Consonantal Text. It argues that from the Qurʾānic Consonantal Text, and various data of comparative linguistic evidence, it is likely that the language of the Qurʾānic Consonantal Text goes back to a variety of Arabic where the feminine ending was treated as a diptote. It is moreover argued, that this feminine ending was likely also diptotic in Proto-Arabic.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?
The source backs part of the claim, not all of it — or backs it for a different population, condition or comparison.

In the citing paper
“As Van Putten (2017) has shown, a few dialects, such as the Shammari dialects of the Najd, the D ō siri dialect of Kuwait, and a number of Yemeni dialects, attest a more archaic distribution, with at in non-pausal position and ah in pause: e.g.”

The check wasn’t confident either way, so it gives no verdict — never disputed.
In the citing paper
“While the realization of the feminine ending in Shammari Arabic as at is typical of the morpheme in non-pausal feminine nouns, and is thus not limited to the N + DEF-ADJ syntagm (Ingham 1982; Van Putten 2017)”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
