أَدْخُلْI enter

Example sentences

• فَإِنْصَرَفْتُ مُغْضَبًا وَلَمْ أَدْخُلْ إِلَيْهِ أَيَّامًا،

  So I left angrily and did not go to him for days.

  أَدْخُلْ — I enter. This verb looks present but is locked into a clipped (jussive) ending by the negator before it, which is why it reads as a completed 'did not enter'. The shortened ending is the trace of that governing particle. Its 'I' subject is built into the form.
