Arabic vocabulary
أَلْعَابٍ is how you say “games” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
الَّذِي قَطَعَ أَنْفَاسَهُ بِالْمُجُونِ وَاللَّهْوِ وَالْأَلْعَابِ
who cut short his life through debauchery, amusement, and games
وَالْأَلْعَابِ — and games. Another 'wa-' joins the third and final item to the same list. Like its neighbour it keeps the genitive ending handed down from the earlier 'bi-', so all three nouns are read as parallel instruments of how the man wasted his life.
