Example sentences

اذا كان الذين قد انتدبوا للرد على الفلاسفة قد حاروا ولحقتهم كسفة،
If those who set out to refute the philosophers were confused and affected by gloom,
كَسْفَةٌ — gloom. This feminine noun is the actual doer of 'befell', which is why that verb showed up with its feminine mark. Word order in Arabic often puts the verb first and its subject second, so the thing that does the action can land after the verb, as it does here.
