ك of allocution is varied like the pronominal affix of the sec. pers., according to the sex and number of the persons addressed: see exs. in the Qur'an, 3:42 and xix. 21 (Flügel's ed., and Lees' Keshsháf), xii. 37, ii. 46, &c., and xii. 32. But sometimes the same form is used in addressing a number of persons as in addressing one man: see, for example, Qur'an, 4:96.
