بَريء or بَريئة

بَريء is masculine. It is pronounced BAREE’. The apostrophe at the end signifies a glottal stop, which is almost inaudible, unless followed by a vowel, as in BAREE'UN, BAREE'AN, or BAREE'IN (three case inflections, used for different grammatical functions). The stress in all of these forms is on the second syllable.

بَريئة is feminine. It is pronounced BAREE'A. A silent T is implied, which ceases to be silent when followed by any of the three case inflections (BAREE'ATUN, BAREE'ATAN, BAREE'ATIN). The stress is on the second syllable in all of the feminine forms as well.

Since your context implies a singular referent, I will not overburden you with all the plural forms. If you feel you need these, please let us know.
