Arabic vocabulary
شَهْر is how you say “month” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
يخرج الدجال في أمتى فيمكث أربعين لا أدري يوماً أو أربعين شهراً، أو أربعين عاماً،
The Dajjal will appear in my nation and will remain for forty—I do not know whether days or months or years.
شَهْرًا — months. The counted noun after this 'forty' — SINGULAR and accusative again, 'forty month[s]'. The same 11-99 rule: one 'month' carries the whole count. The second possible unit.
