عَشِيرَةkin in Arabic

Example sentences

• وَعَشِيرَتُكُمْ وَأَمْوَالُ إِقْتَرَفْتُمُوهَا وَتِجَارَةٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادُهَا

  and your kin, and wealth you have acquired it, and trade whose stagnation you fear

  وَعَشِيرَتُكُمْ — and your kin. This bundles the linking wa- with a noun for kin and the tail -kum, 'your (plural)', as possessor. It adds another belonging to the running list, with ownership fused onto the noun, addressed to the same audience as the earlier items.
