إِكْثَارٌabundance

Example sentences

• ويستدعي معرفة حسنة بالتفسير وإكثارا من حكايات الفقراء والزهاد

  It requires good understanding of interpretation and an abundance of stories about the poor and ascetics.

  وَإِكْثَارًا — and an abundance. This is a second object joined by 'wa-', so it sits in the accusative like the first — 'and an abundance'. It is a verbal noun meaning 'making much / piling up', here 'a great store of'. Coordinated objects share the same case, which is why the ending matches the earlier one.

• واللذيذ أحمد لولا الإكثار منه وملازمة الطعام التفه

  Delicious food is praiseworthy, were it not for overeating it, and sticking to bland food.

  الإِكْثَارُ — the excess. This action-noun, 'the overdoing, the excess', is the very thing the 'were it not for' particle introduces as the spoiler. Built from a verb, it names the act of taking too much while functioning as a noun, and it owns the pronoun that follows.
