فَضَيَّقَand narrowed in Arabic

Example sentences

• أَوْ زَخْرَفَ الْمَوَاعِظَ فَضَيَّقَ أَعْيُنَ شَبَكَتِهِ

  Or he embellished the admonitions and narrowed the meshes of his net.

  فضيَّقَ — and narrowed. The 'fa-' is the 'and so' of consequence, presenting the narrowing as what results from the dressing-up of words just described. It rides on a past verb with its own 'he' subject, so one word both draws the outcome and names who brought it about.
