Example sentences

• وَدُرِكَ الشَّقَاءُ وَسُوءُ الْقَضَاءِ وَشَمَاتَةُ الْأَعْدَاءِ

  And being overtaken by misery, an adverse decree, and the gloating of enemies.

  وَشَمَاتَةُ — and gloating. Two pieces: wa- ('and') adds another item to the list, and the noun heads a possessive pairing with the next word ('gloating of the enemies'). As the first term it stays the head and takes definiteness from the owner that follows.
