Example sentences
فَهَذَانِ عَادَا عَنْ مَنْهَجِ الصَّوَابِ،
Thus these two have strayed from the path of truth,
عادا — they have strayed. A past-tense verb in the dual: its ending marks 'they two' as the doers, matching the pair just pointed to, with no separate subject word needed. The dual ending is how Arabic carries 'exactly two acted' inside the verb's own shape.
