وَأَزْوِيهِand I will keep it away

Example sentences

• لَفَعَلْتُ، وَلَكِنِّي أَرْغَبُ بِكُمَا عَنْ ذَلِكَ وَأَزْوِيهِ عَنْكُمَا،

  I would have done it, but I prefer to spare you both that, and I will keep it away from you both.

  وَأَزْوِيهِ — and I will keep it away. The wa- on the front is 'and', joining a second verb to the preference, and the verb itself is present first-person; tacked onto its end is -hi, the 'it' object pointing back to the worldly thing. So one word holds the connector, the verb, the 'I', and the object pronoun. The pronoun tracks the earlier referent.
