When a maṣdar of the pattern faʿlūlah has a wāw as its ʿayn kalimah, the wāw is changed to a yāʾ.
When a word begins with two wāws, the first is replaced by hamzah.
When a wāw stands as the lām kalimah after a kasrah, it converts to a yāʾ, yielding forms like duʿiya and dāʿiyah.
When a wāw or yāʾ falls in the ʿayn position of an active participle whose verb is muʿtal, it converts to hamzah.
