Example sentences

وَلَكِنْ اِشْتَغَلَ بِمُهَاوْشَتِهِ عَنِ الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ،
But he was so occupied with his bickering that he was kept from the first row.
بِمُهَاوْشَتِهِ — with his bickering. The bi- here marks what occupied the man ('busied with his squabbling'); it is the link this verb of being-occupied takes. The noun it rides is a verbal noun ('quarrelling') carrying -hu ('his'), so bi- governs that whole possessed action-noun into the genitive. One unit carries 'with his bickering'.
