Example sentences

فَإِنْ قَالَ قَائِلٌ ذِكْرُ حِكَايَاتِ الْحُمْقَىٰ وَالْمَغْفِلِينَ يُوجِبُ الضَّحْكَ،
If someone says: telling the stories of fools and the gullible causes laughter,
الْحُمْقَىٰ — the fools. The al- makes this plural definite, 'the' fools, and it closes the 'stories of...' pairing as its owner. Sitting in the owned-by slot it carries the genitive 'of' ending, though on a word ending in a long vowel that ending is not visibly written.
