رِيشfeathers

Example sentences

• ثُمَّ يَدْخُلُ الْمَسْجِدَ وَالْرِّيشُ عَلَى رَأْسِهِ

  Then he enters the mosque with the feathers on his head.

  الْرِّيشُ — the feathers. The al- marks this as the definite, specific feathers. It is the subject of the circumstantial side-clause opened by the 'and', so it takes the naming case and reads as 'while the feathers were...'. It paints the telltale condition accompanying his entrance.
