صِنْوlike in Arabic

Example sentences

• وعلى عمه الذي قال فيه الرسول عمي وصنو أبي،

  And upon his uncle, of whom the Prophet said: 'He is my uncle and like my father.'

  وَصِنْوُ — and like. This is wa- joined to a noun meaning a twin or counterpart, opening a possessive pairing 'and the counterpart of my father'. The wa- coordinates it with 'my uncle' in the quote, and the pairing sets it directly before its owner with no word for 'of'.
