بِرَأْيِهِby opinion his in Arabic

Example sentences

• أَوْ زَاهِدٌ يَتَقَلَّبُ بِرَأْيِهِ الْفَاسِدِ فِي جَهَالَتِهِ،

  Or an ascetic who keeps shifting his corrupt opinion in his ignorance,

  بِرَأْيِهِ — by opinion his. A 'bi-' prefix fronts the noun to mark the thing he shifts about, his opinion, and a '-hi' suffix glues 'his' onto the end. So one word stacks preposition, noun, and possessor; the suffix points back to the ascetic, fixing whose view it is.
