Example sentences

• وَكَسَفَتْ شَمْسُهُ عِنْدَ اِجْتِمَاعِ ظُلُمِ آرَائِهِمْ وَعَقْدِهَا فَلَيْسُوا يُبْصِرُونَهَا

  And his sun was eclipsed when the darkness of their opinions gathered and was sealed, so they do not see it.

  وَعَقْدُهَا — and its sealing. The wa- adds a second item, so 'gathering' and 'sealing' are coordinated. The noun is an action-noun (it names the act of sealing as a thing) and carries -ha ('its') as its possessor. That 'its' points back to the darkness or the opinions, keeping the metaphor running.
