اِنْحِدَارdescent in Arabic

Example sentences

• إِذَا صَاحَبَهَا إِلَى الْقَبْرِ فِي اِنْحِدَارٍ،

  If it accompanied it down to the grave on a slope,

  اِنْحِدَارٍ — downward slope. An action-noun naming a descent, the object of 'in' before it, so it takes the genitive ending. Its indefiniteness leaves the slope general, a downward way rather than a named place. It completes the picture of the final descent toward the grave.
