قَمَرُmoon

Example sentences

• وَإِنْ هُوَ قَمَرُ صَاحِبُهُ فَعَلَ بِهِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ

  And if he was his companion's moon, he did the same to him.

  قَمَرَ — moon. Read in this sentence as a personal name (the master called Qamar) rather than the everyday meaning of the root. It serves as the predicate of the preceding 'he', forming an 'he is X' identification inside the condition. Context, not the form alone, tells you to treat it as a name here.
