Example sentences

والذي نفس محمد بيده لوددت أن أغزو في سبيل الله فأقتل،
By the One in whose hand is Muhammad's soul, I would love to fight in the cause of Allah and be killed,
لَوَدِدْتُ — I would love. This carries an emphatic la- prefix on a past-tense verb with the 'I' subject built in, 'I would surely love'. The la- is an oath-answering stress, the 'truly/surely' that follows a vow, lending the wish strong force; the speaker is folded into the verb.
