Example sentences

  Then he breathed into it with his right hand, his left hand, between his hands, and behind it.

  فَنَفَحَ — then he breathed. The fa- prefix marks sequence, 'then', on a past verb whose 'he' subject is built in, describing a soft puff of breath. The connector ties this act to the moment before it in the unfolding scene.
