Usage notes

This originates as a case form of a defective noun تَحْت‎ (taḥt, “location that is below”). It is declined normally when definite, e.g. التَّحْتُ (at-taḥtu, “the location that is below”). Other forms are the adverbial accusative in the preposition تَحْتَ‎ (taḥta, “below”), the genitive in the expression مِنْ تَحْتِ‎ (min taḥti, “from below, below”) (also with an attached pronoun, as in مِنْ تَحْتِهَا (min taḥtihā, “(from) below it”)), and the irregular expression مِنْ تَحْتُ‎ (min taḥtu, “(from) below”).
