حَوْمَةٌmidst

Example sentences

• فوقعوا في حومة غفلة وفي ضيق شعر،

  So they fell into the midst of heedlessness and into the narrowness of distress,

  حَوْمَةِ — the midst of. This noun takes the 'of' ending from the preposition before it, and it is also the first half of a possessive pair. As the leading noun it leans on the following word to say the midst of what, forming a possessive unit with no separate 'of'.
