Core sense — the seventh, eighth and ninth nights of the lunar monthgenerated

1

The seventh, eighth and ninth nights of the [lunar] month; the three nights of the month that come after the نُفَل, because the last of them is the ninth.

Among the nights of the month, three are called غُرَرٌ [plural of غُرَّةٌ]; the three after these are called نُفَلٌ; and the three after these are called تُسَعٌ, because the last of them is the ninth night.

Or, as some say, the three nights of the beginning of the month; but the first explanation agrees better with analogy.

Core sense — nine; and, in compound, nineteengenerated

1nine men—تِسْعَةُ رِجَالٍ

Applied to denote a number, [namely nine,] it is masculine, and تِسْعٌ so applied is feminine. The feminine is also written تَسْعٌ with fet-h to the ت, and is so pronounced in the Kur 38:22 according to one reading.

nine women—تِسْعٌ نِسْوَةٍ
nine things are more than eight things—تِسْعَةُ أَكْثَرُ مِنْ ثَمَانِيَةَ

When it means the things numbered, and not the amount of the number, تسعة is imperfectly declinable, being treated as a proper name.

and we formerly gave to Moses nine evident signs—وَ لَقَدْ آتَيْنَا مُوسَى تِسْعَ آيَاتٍ بَيِّنَاتٍ

In the Kur 17:103. The signs are generally understood to be the principal miracles Moses was empowered to perform, which are enumerated differently in various works; but some suppose that statutes are meant.

Qur’ān 38:23 the verse Lane’s citation points to, and it uses this root

"This man is my brother: He has nine and ninety ewes, and I have (but) one: Yet he says, 'commit her to my care,' and is (moreover) harsh to me in speech."Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

1.1nineteen (masculine)—تِسْعَةَ عَشَرَ

Some of the Arabs pronounce it تِسْعَةَ عْشَرَ.

nineteen (feminine)—تِسْعَ عَشْرَةَ

In both, each of the two words ends with fet-h in every case, because they are two nouns treated as one noun.

This form belongs to the dialect of El-Hijáz [and to most of the Arabs]; in the dialect of Nejd it is pronounced تِسْعَ عَشِرَةَ. See art. عشر.

In the Kur 74:30 some read تِسْعَةَ عْشَرَ, making the ع in عشر sākin instead of تِسْعَهَ عَشَرَ, from dislike of this succession of vowels in what is like a single word.
