Example sentences

• يَا من غذى بلبان الْبر وقلب بأيدي الألطاف

  O one who was nurtured with the milk of righteousness and turned by hands of grace.

  بِلُبَانِ — with the milk of. 'Bi-' (with) fused with 'milk', first term of an 'of' pairing — 'with the milk of righteousness'; it governs the genitive. The 'bi-' marks what one was nourished with; it owns the noun that follows.

  If there was love in your heart, its effect would appear on your body.

  لَبَانَ — it would appear. The 'la-' answering the 'law' counterfactual, prefixed to a past-tense verb 'became plain / showed' — 'its trace would have shown'. The 'la-' marks the apodosis of the unreal condition.
