نُطْفَةdrop

Example sentences

• وينسى أنه خلق من نطفة ثم من علقة، ثم صار مضغة، ثم صار عظامًا، ثم كسي لحما

  and forgets that he was created from a drop, then a clot, then a lump of flesh, then bones, then clothed with flesh.

  نُطْفَةٍ — a drop. The noun governed by 'from', sitting in that preposition's required form, and its bare ending marks it indefinite: 'a drop'. It names the first stage of the listed development.

• أي فلينظر نظر الفكر والاستدلال ليعلم أن الذي ابتدأ أول خلقه من نطفة قادر على إعادته

  Meaning, let him look with thought and reasoning to know that He who began his creation from a sperm-drop is able to resurrect him.

  نُطْفَةٍ — a sperm-drop. An indefinite noun governed by 'from', the starting material; the lack of 'the' keeps it 'a drop' rather than a known one, and the ending marks it as ruled by the preposition. Bareness gives the 'a'.
