حَتَّى السُّوَيْعَاتِ الَّتِي يَضْطَرُّ فِيهَا لِاسْتِقْبَالِ زَائِرِيهِ،
Even the brief moments when he was compelled to receive his visitors,
السُّوَيْعَاتِ — brief moments. A definite plural noun built on a diminutive pattern, the inner shaping that shrinks 'hours' into 'little moments'. The diminutive is a form Arabic carries inside the word rather than with an extra adjective. Introduced by 'even', it names the tiny time-spans at issue.
