اِشْتَرَىbought

Example sentences

• فَاشْتَرَى مِنْهُ رَحْلاً

  So he bought a pack-saddle from him.

  فَإِشْتَرَى — so he bought. The leading 'fa-' (so/then) marks this as the next step that follows from the prior scene, fused onto a past-tense verb whose 'he' subject is built in. So the one chunk both advances the story and reports the buying. The doer stays implicit because the verb shape fixes it.

  اِشْتَرَاهُ — bought him. Past-tense verb of buying with 'he' inside it and an attached -hu, 'him', as its object. The object pronoun marks Luqman as the one purchased; the doer is the man just mentioned.
