^

mudariss, mudariss~an, mudarisseen :P.

And plural isn't always een, it can be oun (if it's subject), depending on grammar rule, and this is the masculine form of it, the female form become mudarissa, mudarissatan, mudarissat.

Some words have irregular plural forms, such as Kalb, Kalbayn, Kilab (dogs).

In most common dialects they don't use the dual-form though, just plural for more than one.

Yea, having a feminine and masculine form to wrap the brain around makes Arabic one difficult language to learn (not even mentioning all the dialects). Someone told me that the rosetta stone version of Arabic can help you watch Arabic tv programming, but still leave you lost in an actual conversation.
