لَبَنٌmilk

Example sentences

• قُلْتُ أَفِي غَنَمِكَ لَبَنٌ

  I said, "Is there milk in your flock?"

  لَبَنٌ — milk. An indefinite noun, milk, whose trailing '-un' marks it indefinite and as the thing whose existence is questioned, 'is there [any] milk'. It stands as the subject of the verbless 'is there' question. The indefinite tail does the work of English 'any/some'.
