Arabic vocabulary
نَيْلُ is how you say “attainment” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
لَعُمْرُكَ مَا شَيْءٌ يَفُوْتُكَ نَيْلُهُ بِغَبْنٍ وَلَكِنَّ فِي الْعُقُولِ التَّغَابُنُ
By your life, nothing you fail to obtain is lost through injustice; rather, minds are mutually deluded.
نَيْلُهُ — its attainment. This is a verbal noun (a noun naming the action 'attaining') carrying an attached '-its' at its end, the possessor pointing back to the 'thing'. It is the delayed subject of the preceding verb: 'its attainment escapes you'. So the action is treated as a noun that itself can be the subject.
