Example sentences

• فَمَنَعَهُمْ مِنَ الاِسْتِصْبَاحِ فِي اللَّيْلَةِ الْقَابِلَةِ، فَعَمَدَ الْفَضْلُ إِلَى الْقُمْقُمِْ مَمْلُوءٍ،

  So he prevented them from having a light on the following night, and so al-Fadl reached toward the flask full of water.

  مملوءًا — full of water. This is a passive participle meaning 'filled', a describing word built from the verb to say the flask was in a filled state. As a circumstance-description of the flask it takes the open -an ending. The participle carries the 'having-been-done-to' sense, so the flask is presented as something already filled.
