| comment | The verb اِنْتَهَى has both transitive and intransitive aspects within the meaning A. The difference lies in the use of preposition: in the case of transitive verb there is the preposition من ("to end (what?)") for direct object; in the case of intransitive verb it is used the preposition ب ("to end (in what?)") for indirect object. | |
