خُفّas hoof in Arabic

Example sentences

• أي نجعله كخف البعير

  Meaning, We will make it like the camel's hoof.

  كَخُفِّ — like the hoof. This noun has the 'like' particle fused to its front, so it sets up a comparison, 'like the hoof'. Arabic attaches this small comparison piece directly onto the noun rather than using a separate word, and the noun then opens a possessive pairing with what follows.
