Example sentences
وَكَمْ شَاهَدْتُ وَالْ قَصْرَ وَلِيُّهُ عَدُوُّهُ لَمَّا عُزِلَ
How often have I seen the governor of a palace whose ally became his enemy when he was dismissed!
عزل — he was dismissed!. This is the passive form of the verb: the governor did not remove himself; he was removed by others. Arabic marks the passive by reshaping the inner vowels rather than adding a helper like English 'was', so the doer drops out of sight and only the dismissal remains.
