ثَدْي is how you say “breast” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in real example sentences from classical texts below.
ودر عليه ثديها؛
Her breast provided for him;
ثَدْيُهَا — Her breast. This noun carries an attached 'her' and is the delayed subject of 'flowed', so it stands in the subject form: her breast is what did the flowing. The fused 'her' points back to the foster mother.
From: Raised in the Prophet’s Household →فَقَالَتِ اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلِ ابْنِي مِثْلَهُ فَتَرَكَ ثَدْيَهَا،
She said, "O Allah, make my son like him." Then he left her breast,
ثَدْيَهَا — her breast. What the baby let go of -- her breast -- the object of 'left', with '-ha' (her) attached pointing to the mother. The suffix ties the object to her, and the noun's ending marks it as the thing released.
