Arabic vocabulary
شَّطَحَاتِ is how you say “extravagant antics” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
أَوْ بِالْإِشَارَاتِ وَالشَّطَحَاتِ،
Or by gestures and extravagant antics,
وَالشَّطَحَاتِ — and the extravagant antics. The wa- coordinates this with 'the hints', so the means run 'by gestures and ecstatic outbursts'. The definite plural is genitive in the same governed phrase. The single prefixed 'and' keeps the pair parallel as two more empty devices.
