يُهْدِيهِgive it

Example sentences

• فَلْيُهْدِيهِ إِلَيْهِ حَيْثُ كَانَ مِنْ بُيُوتِ نِسَائِهِ،

  So let him give it to him wherever he was from the houses of his wives.

  فَلْيُهْدِهِ — so let him give it. Three forces packed into one word: a linking fa- ('so'), a command-marker that turns the verb into an order aimed at a third party ('let him give'), and the verb itself with its 'it' object attached. The little command-marker is what bends the verb into the let-him form, since Arabic cannot say 'let him' with a separate word.
