Arabic vocabulary
How to say “fangs” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَيَقْرِضُ بِآنِيَابٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ
And he gnaws with fangs of iron.
بِآنِيَابٍ — with fangs. The 'bi-' fused at the front marks the instrument, 'with', naming what the gnawing is done by. It governs the plural noun after it into the 'of'-style ending, so 'gnawing with fangs' is built here, paralleling the earlier 'with claws'. The 'of iron' phrase then specifies the fangs.
