أَشْهُرٍmonths

Example sentences

• وَرَقُ السَّمْرِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ

  The samar tree's foliage lasted for four months.

  أَشْهُرٍ — months. The counted noun after 'four', and Arabic's number rules put a noun counted by three-to-ten into the plural and the genitive, which is why it reads 'months' with the -in ending. So the numeral governs the noun's case, completing 'four months'.
