قَدَمَيْنِfoot in Arabic

Example sentences

• وَقَدْ شَدَّها بِقَيْدَيْنِ عَظِيمَيْنِ إِلَى قَدَمَيْهِ،

  And he had bound her with two heavy chains to his feet.

  قَدَمَيْهِ — his feet. A dual noun closed by '-hi' (his), so one word carries 'his two feet', the dual ending folding the count in and the suffix gluing on the possessor. Sitting in the form the preposition before it requires, it names the two points the chains reached.
