إِدْخَالِbringing in / introduction in Arabic

Example sentences

• وَكَانَا فِي السِّجْنِ مَعًا، فَمَنَعَهُمَا السِّجَّانُ مِنْ إِدْخَالِ الْحَطَبِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ بَارِدَةٍ،

  They were together in prison, and the jailer prevented them from bringing in firewood on a cold night.

  إِدْخَالِ — bringing in. This is a verbal noun, an action packaged as a noun, here 'the bringing-in'. Arabic uses these constantly where English would use an '-ing' form, and after the 'from' it sits in the genitive. As an action-noun it can still take its own object, which is the next word.
