Example sentence

وَتَوَسَّطَ قُفَّهَا، وَكَشَفَ عَنْ سَاقَيْهِ وَدَلَّاهُمَا فِي الْبِئْرِ،

And he placed his cloak in the middle, and uncovered from his two legs, and let them both hang down in the well.

سَاقَيْهِ his two legs

This is the dual - Arabic's dedicated 'exactly two' form, a category English lacks - so the noun's own ending already counts two, with no separate word for 'two' needed. Riding on the end is an attached 'his', naming the owner, so a single word packs the body-part, the count of two, and the possessor together.
