Example sentences
فَتَارَةً لَهُ وَتَارَةً عَلَيْهِ
Sometimes it is in his favor, and sometimes it is against him.
وَتَارَةً — and sometimes. The joining 'wa-' opens the second half of the 'sometimes... sometimes...' frame, and the noun again works as a time-adverb 'at another time'. The conjunction marks the pivot to the contrasting case.
