دِيَارُhomes

Example sentences

• فَإِنْ كُنْتَ لَا تَدْرِي فَتِلْكَ دِيَارُهُمْ

  So if you do not know, then those are their homes.

  دِيَارُهُمْ — their homes. A noun with the suffix -hum ('their', for a group) attached, so it reads 'their homes'. The plural 'their' reaches back to the earlier dead, 'those who have passed', binding the pointed-out ruins to them. The possessor is folded into the word's ending.

• وَخَرِبَتْ دِيَارُهُمْ

  And their homes were ruined.

  دِيَارُهُمْ — their homes. A plural noun with -hum fixing 'their' to it, the subject of the ruining, so it takes the plain naming ending; being a non-human plural it pulled the feminine ending onto the verb. The 'their' marks the homes as the people's.
