صِبْيَةchildren

Example sentences

• فلبثت والقدح على يدى أنتظر استيقاظهما حتى برق الفجر والصبية يتضاغون عند قدمى فاستيقظا فشربا غبوقهما

  So I waited with the vessel in my hand until dawn broke, and the children were crying at my feet. They then awoke and drank their evening drink.

  وَالصِّبْيَةُ — and the children. This joins the connector wa- to a noun, opening another background 'with...' clause, 'and the children (being)...'. As before, wa- here sets a scene running alongside the main events rather than chaining a new action.
