Example sentences
وكان له سمت يعرفه به من لم يكن رآه
And he had a demeanor by which those who had never seen him recognized him.
سَمْتٌ — demeanor. This noun is the possessed thing in the 'he had X' construction, so it appears in the subject form as the item that 'was to him'. Its bare ending marks it indefinite, 'a bearing/manner'.
