عَاهُbe aware of it

Example sentences

• فَلَا يَسْمَعُ أَمْرًا يُكَادَانِ بِهِ إِلَّا وَعَاهُ،

  So he did not hear of any matter that nearly affected the two of them without being aware of it.

  وَعَاهُ — and was aware of it. The wa- here is not plain 'and'-listing; it opens a circumstantial 'while/already' clause hanging off the exception, so it sets the scene 'except that he had taken it in'. The '-hu' tail is a single 'it' reaching back to the matter heard.
