Arabic vocabulary
كَدّ is how you say “his toil” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فَيَا شِدَّةَ الْحَسْرَةِ عِنْدَمَا يُعَايِنُ الْمُبْطِلُ سَعْيَهُ وَكَدَّهُ هَبَاءً مَنْثُورًا،
O, what intense regret when the one whose efforts are nullified witnesses his striving and his toil scattered like dust.
وَكَدَّهُ — and his toil. The wa- coordinates this with the previous object, so 'his striving and his toil' run in parallel as twin objects of 'sees'. The noun carries -hu ('his') as owner and matches the accusative role. The single prefixed 'and' keeps the pair in step.
