ضَجِيعcompanion

Example sentences

• وَهُوَ ضجيعه فِي الرمس

  And he is his companion in the grave.

  ضَجِيعُهُ — his companion. The 'his' here is not a separate word but a suffix welded onto the end of the noun, so one Arabic word carries both 'companion' and its owner. Tracking that owner matters: the suffix reaches back to the man being praised, not to the nearest name.
