Example sentence

لَوْ حَلَفْتُ لَرَجَوْتُ أَنْ أَبَرَّ

If I had sworn, I would have hoped to keep it.

لَرَجَوْتُ then I would have hoped

The prefixed l- here is the answering particle that opens the RESULT half of an unreal condition, the 'then...' that responds to the earlier 'if'. Riding on it is a past-tense verb with '-I' built in. So this word both signals 'then I would have' and names the consequence of the supposed oath.
