برأ

/ba.ra.ʔa/

Where it comes from

It is grouped at the root ب ر ء (b r ʔ), but borrowed from Classical Syriac ܒܪܳܐ (braʾ, “to create”). In Syriac the same root is more widespread, whereas in Arabic it is exotic – the verb appears in the Qurʾān in its finite form only in 57:22, and three times in the active participle form.
