Abstract
This paper is an attempt to semantically and indicatively explore the reason behind (Nassb), the Openness of Sound Feminine Plural with Al-Kasrah / i / vowel. The researcher believes that the Openness, Nassb, of Sound Feminine Plural with Al-Kasrah is attributed to a physiological dimension of the female. As known, Asad Tribe used unrestrictedly Nassb, the Sound Feminine Plural with (Al-FatHa), / ᴂ / vowel sound.
However, the researcher indicates that the use of Nassb with Al-Kasrah is associated with the Sound Feminine Plural, as both have closeness and harmony in attribute. The study shows that Al-Kasrah is closely related to the emotional context of the woman.
Some argued that the need for easiness might be the main reason behind using Al-Kasrah with the Sound Feminine Plural instead of Al-FatHa, though.
