أَلْصَقَattach (past)

Example sentences

• فَأَخَذَهُ مَعَهُ فِي فِرَاشِهِ وَأَلْصَقَهُ بِأَحْشَائِهِ حَتَّى أَصْبَحَ وَقَدْ فَتَرَ الْمَاءُ

  So he took it with him in his bed and pressed it against his entrails until it became morning and the water had cooled.

  وَأَلْصَقَهُ — and he pressed it. The front wa- joins this to the previous act, and the past verb under it has the 'it' object suffixed on, so the word means 'and he pressed it'. The verb's causative pattern means actively making the flask cling against his body. The -hu keeps tracking the same flask through the sequence.
