ܕܥܒܝܪܗ

A relative clause, consisting of the conjunction ܕ-‎ (d-) + the verb ܥܒ݂ܝܼܪܹܗ‎ (ʿḇīrēh); hence literally “that has passed”. (See usage notes below.)

ܕܥܒ݂ܝܼܪܹܗ‎ • (d-ʿḇīrēh) (feminine ܕܥܒ݂ܝܼܪܵܗ̇ (d-ʿḇīrāh), plural ܕܥܒ݂ܝܼܪܗܘܿܢ‎ (d-ʿḇīrhon))

1. The last, past, latest (the most recent)

   ‏ܦܪܝܼܩ ܠܲܢ ܒܫܲܒ݂ܘܼܥܵܐ ܕܥܒ݂ܝܼܪܹܗ.‎‎ ― We finished last week.

   ‏ܚܙܹܐ ܠܲܢ ܥܘܼܕܵܠܹܐ ܒܝܲܪܚܵܐ ܕܥܒ݂ܝܼܪܹܗ.‎‎ ― We saw each other last month.

   ‏ܐ݇ܙܝܼܠ ܠܲܢ ܒܫܹܢ݇ܬܵܐ ܕܥܒ݂ܝܼܪܵܗ̇.‎‎ ― We went last year.

• The phrase ܕܥܒ݂ܝܼܪܹܗ (d-ʿḇīrēh) is not a true adjective, but rather, is grammatically a relative clause (literally meaning “that has passed”). As a result, it does not inflect for definiteness, and its feminine singular and plural forms are the conjunction ܕ-‎ (d-) plus the third-person feminine singular past tense and third-person plural past tense (respectively) of the verb ܥܵܒ݂ܹܪ‎ (ʿāḇēr).

• ܕܐܵܬܹܐ‎ (d-ātē, “next”)

• ܕܲܥܒ݂ܲܪ‎ (daʿḇar, “the past”)
