Example sentences

• فَهُنَاكَ حِيْنٌ اِسْتَكْمَلَ الْعَقْلُ

  Then there came a time when the intellect reached completion.

  حِين — a time. A noun of time, 'a moment/time', left indefinite, its tanwin ending marking that indefiniteness, 'a certain time'. It anchors the closing statement in a point at which the intellect came to fullness. Indefinite here gives the unspecified 'there was a time when'.
