فَزَعًاa fright in Arabic

Example sentences

• فَفَزِعَ لِذَلِكَ أُمَيَّةُ فَزَعًا شَدِيدًا،

  So Umayyah was seized with intense alarm at that.

  فَزَعًا — in a fright. An object-shaped (accusative) noun used to intensify its own verb — an 'inner object' that echoes the verb's meaning to stress it: he feared *a fright*, i.e. was greatly frightened. Arabic doubles the root this way for emphasis.
