Arabic vocabulary
How to say “her belt” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فَقَطَعَتْ أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ أَبِي بَكْرِ قِطْعَةً مِنْ نِطَاقِهَا،
So Asma bint Abi Bakr cut off a piece from her belt.
نِطَاقِهَا — her belt. A noun with 'her' fused on as a suffix; the attached -ha supplies the possessor and points back to Asma, the cutter, not the nearest other figure. It sits in the genitive after 'from', so the whole is 'from HER belt', the suffix tracking the right owner.
