Example sentence

والذي نفس محمد بيده لوددت أن أغزو في سبيل الله فأقتل،

By the One in whose hand is Muhammad's soul, I would love to fight in the cause of Allah and be killed,

أَغْزُوَ I fight

A present-tense verb with the 'I' subject built in, sitting in the subjunctive ending required by the preceding 'that', so it reads as 'to fight'. The subjunctive shape marks it as the wished-for aim, not a fact; the speaker is inside the form.

أَغْزُوَ I fight
