More example sentences
بينا هي في صعود الزيادة إذا صاحبها إلى القبر في انحدار،
While it is in the ascent of increase, suddenly its owner heads to the grave in decline,
صُعُودِ the ascent
In the genitive because 'in' governs it, this noun also heads a possessive pairing, 'the ascent of increase', so it stays bare of 'the' and draws definiteness from the owner that follows. It names the rising motion that the next word will specify.
