Usage notes
  • In standard Arabic, one would expect to find خُطَّاء (ḵuṭṭāʔ) as a masculine broken plural, using the pattern فُعَّال (fuʔʔāl) also found, for example, in كُتَّاب (kuttāb), قُرَّاء (qurrāʔ), etc. The form خُطَاة (ḵuṭāh) is a colloquialism[1] derived from the participle's colloquial form خَاطِي (ḵāṭī) using a pattern normally reserved for final-weak verbs (e.g. قَضَى (qaḍā, final-weak verb) → قَاضٍ (qāḍin, active participle) [informally قَاضِي (qāḍī)] → قُضَاة (quḍāh, masculine broken plural)).
