Arabic vocabulary
How to say “dwellings of them” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
لَقَدْ كَانَ لِسَبَإٍ فِي مَسَاكِنِهِمْ آيَةً
Indeed, there was a sign for Sheba in their dwellings.
مَسَاكِنِهِمْ — dwellings of them. A plural noun with a 'their' suffix on the end, holding both 'dwellings' and its owners in one word. It sits in the 'of'-style ending because the preposition before it governs it. The 'their' reaches back to Sheba, the people just named, pinning the dwellings to them.
