Example sentence

ويحك ما أطول أملك وأسوأ عملك

Woe to you! How long are your hopes, and how bad are your deeds!

وَأَسْوَأَ and how bad

This fronts wa- 'and' onto a second elative-shaped word 'how bad', parallel to 'how long' before. The wa- coordinates the two wonder-clauses, building 'how long your hope AND how bad your deed'. It mirrors the first exclamation in form for rhetorical balance.
