Example sentences

• قَالَ كَانَتْ لَا تَنْقَطِعُ عَنْهُمْ جُنَّتُهُمْ شِتَاءً وَلَا صَيْفًا

  He said, their gardens never failed them, neither in winter nor in summer.

  صَيْفًا — in summer. A noun used adverbially for time, 'in summer', in the object-style ending that marks a noun as a 'when' without any preposition. It mirrors the earlier 'in winter', so the bare ending alone carries the 'in', and the pair frames the gardens' bounty as constant across both seasons.
