Arabic vocabulary
اِسْتِيقاظَ is how you say “awakening” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
أَنْتَظِرُ اِسْتِيقاظَهُمَا حَتَّى بَرَقَ الْفَجْرُ،
I waited for their awakening until the dawn brightened.
اِسْتِيقاظَهُمَا — their waking up. A verb-derived noun naming the act of waking, taking the object-style ending as the thing waited for, with an attached dual 'their' pronoun. The suffix folds 'of the two of them' into the noun, so it names the pair's awakening as the goal of the wait.
