Full Definition
مُعْطٍ
[Giving, &c.]. When thou desirest Zeyd [i. e. any person] to give thee a thing, thou sayest, هَلْ أَنْتَ مُعْطِيَّهُ [lit. Art thou my giver of it?], with fet-h and teshdeed to the ى: and in like manner thou sayest to a pl. number, هَلْ أَنْتُمْ
مُعْطِيَّهُ, because the ن [of the word مُعْطُونَ] falls out by reason of the word's becoming a prefixed noun, and the و is changed into ى and incorporated [into the pronominal ى], and the ى is pronounced with fet-h because [originally] preceded by a quiescent letter [i. e. the و which is changed into ى]: and to two persons thou sayest, هَلْ
أَنْتُمَا مُعْطِيَايَهُ, with fet-h to the ى: and thus you do in similar cases.
