Example sentences
فجاءت البشارة في كانون اليأس بآمال تموز،
The good news came in the midst of despair with the hopes of July.
كَانُونِ — the midst. In the genitive because 'in' governs it, this month-name noun heads a possessive pairing, 'the dead-of-winter of despair', so it stays bare of 'the' and draws definiteness from the owner that follows. It sets the cold, hopeless season that the good news pierces.
