جَبَلَmountain in Arabic

Example sentences

• وَقَالَ وَهْبُ لِإِزَالَةِ الْجَبَلَ صَخْرَةً صَخْرَةً

  And Wahb said, 'To remove the mountain, rock by rock.'

  الْجَبَلَ — the mountain. This noun is the object of the removing-action named by the previous word, the thing to be removed; its al- makes it definite, 'the mountain'. Although it follows a noun rather than a verb, the action-noun still governs it as its object. It names what is to be taken away.
