مُلِئَhad been filled

Example sentences

• فَدَخَلَ فَوَجَدَ الْقِفََّ قَدْ مُلِئَ،

  Then he entered and found that the basket had been filled.

  مُلِئَ — had been filled. This is the passive form: the basket undergoes the filling rather than doing it, with the filler left unnamed. Arabic builds the passive not with a helper word like 'was' but by reshaping the vowels inside the verb, so the form sits close to its active twin yet flips who does and who receives.
