طَلْقَةَa single pronouncement of divorce

Example sentences

• وَلا طَلْقَةَ مِنْ طَلْقَاتِهَا

  Not even a single pronouncement of divorce from her.

  طَلْقَةَ — a single pronouncement of divorce. A noun in its object form because the preceding negation governs it: 'not even one ...'. The single, unmarked count underlines the 'not even one' force — the smallest possible instance is being denied. It names the thing claimed never to have happened, the unit the emphatic negation rules out entirely.
