رِئَاسَةleadership in Arabic

Example sentences

• وَمُعْظَمُهَا مِنْ قِبَلِ طَلَبِهِمْ لِلرِّئَاسَةِ،

  And most of it is from the part of their pursuit of leadership,

  لِلرِّئَاسَةِ — for leadership,. The li- prefix is a preposition of aim or goal ('for/toward'), and it puts the noun after it into the genitive as the thing sought. Note that its 'l' merges in sound into the following noun's first letter, a 'sun letter', which is why the spoken form doubles that consonant; the phrase marks leadership as the target of the pursuit.
