كَلَّburden in Arabic

Example sentences

• وقال أبو الدرداء إني لأستجم نفسي ببعض الباطل كراهية أن أحمل عليها من لحق ما يكلها

  And Abu al-Darda said, 'Indeed, I refresh myself with some idle talk, fearing that I might burden it with so much truth that it becomes weary.'

  يُكِلُّهَا — burden it. A present-tense verb 'wearies it', with the attached -ha 'it' as its object pointing back to the soul; its doubled root gives the worn-out sense. So 'what wearies it' describes the burden.
