مَعَاشَرَةliving together

Example sentences

• فَالْعَرَبِيُّ يَقُولُ مِنْ مَعَاشَرَتِهِنَّ وَيْلِي

  So the Arab says, "Woe to me from living among them."

  مَعَاشَرَتِهِنَّ — their living together. An action-noun naming the act of living together, with -hunna ('their, feminine plural') attached — 'their cohabiting'. It is the object of 'from' before it, so it takes the genitive ending, and the -hunna points back to the women. The attached possessor folds the owner onto the noun's tail.
