جِمَالِيُmy camel

Example sentences

• فَأَبْطَأَ بِي جِمَالِيُ وَأَعْيَا،

  Then my camel slowed down and became exhausted.

  جِمَالِيُ — my camel. This noun ends in an attached -i/-ya that marks 'my', so the possessor is fused right onto the word rather than written separately. It is the doer of the verb 'slowed', naming whose camel it was that lagged.
