Example sentences

وَقَصْرُ طُولِ النَّهَى، وَلَوْ فَكَّكَهَا بِالِانْتِقَالِ مِنْ حَالٍ إِلَى حَالٍ لَتَنَفُّسٌ عَنْهَا ضِيقُ العُقْدَةِ،
He shortened the duration of his restraint; had he loosened it by shifting from one state to another, relief from the tightness of the knot would have followed.
العُقْدَةِ — the knot. The al- makes this definite, 'the' knot, and it closes the 'tightness of...' pairing as its owner. Sitting in the owned-by slot, it carries the genitive 'of' ending, locking the two words into 'the tightness of the knot'.
