حَظُّlot in Arabic

Example sentences

• فَمَا حَظُّ الْوَاحِدِ مِنْ هَؤُلاَءِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْمَعَ لِيَرْوِيَ فَقَطْ

  As for any one of them, his lot is only to listen so that he may narrate.

  حَظُّ — lot. This noun is the topic the sentence is built around, and it heads a possessive pairing with the word that follows, giving 'the lot of the one'. As the first half of that pairing it stays without its own 'the', waiting to take definiteness from its partner down the chain.
