أُرِحْI let rest

Example sentences

• فَلَمْ أُرِحْ عَلَيْهِمَا حَتَّى نَامَا،

  So I did not let them rest until they both fell asleep.

  أُرِحْ — I let rest. A present-tense verb carrying its 'I' subject inside, bent by the negator before it into the clipped past-denying ending. That ending is why a present-looking form lands as 'I did not let rest', a finished, denied act.
