Example sentences
فَجَاءَتْ اَلْبِشَارَةُ فِي كَانُونِ اَلْيَأْسِ بِآمَالِ تَمُّوزِ،
Then the good news came in the December of despair, bringing the hopes of July.
كَانُونِ — December. This noun is the first half of a possessive pairing set directly beside the next noun, with no separate word for 'of'. Being the front term, it takes its definiteness from what follows rather than carrying its own 'the', which is how Arabic builds 'the X of Y'.
