Arabic grammarians used "Mīzān al-Ṣarf" to structure words. When encountering verbs with vowel letters, known as "al-Muʻtall," the assigned pattern didn't apply. They investigated the vowel's origin and found that hollow verbs could have a "wāw" or a "yāʼ" as the second letter in derived forms. This phenomenon, called "al-Iʻlāl" (vowel alternation), involved interchanging vowels and the glottal stop. It was classified into three categories: "al-Qalb" (interchanging), "al-Naqal" (transferring), and "al-Ḥaḍf" (omission).
