سِّيَاطُlashes

Example sentences

• وَالسِّيَاطُ لَا تُؤْلِمُ بَعْدَ انْقِضَائِهَا،

  And the lashes do not hurt after they end.

  وَالأَسْوَاطِ — and the lashes. This joins the linking 'and' to a definite plural naming the lashes; the 'and' chains to the prior simile. As a non-human plural it will take singular feminine agreement on its verb, an Arabic regularity.
