Example sentences

• فَأَتَى بُهْرَةً وَالْجُرَذُ يَحْفِرُ وَلَا يَكْتَرِثُ بِالْهِرَّةِ

  So a female cat came, and the rat was digging and did not pay attention to the cat.

  بُهْرَةً — a female cat. An indefinite noun (no 'the') wearing the object-style ending, marking it as what came onto the scene. The light -n sound at its end is Arabic's way of signalling 'a/an', so the word itself says 'a cat' without a separate article.
