شَدِّlike the tightening in Arabic

Example sentences

• وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَمُرُّ كَشَدِّ الرِّكَابِ،

  And among them are those who pass like the tightening of the reins.

  كَشَدِّ — like the tightening. The comparison particle ka- ('like') fused with the noun 'tightening', forming a simile in one word. The ka- sets up the likeness, and it forces the noun into the genitive ending. The noun then heads an 'of' link with 'the reins' next.
