Example sentences

• آكِلٌ مِنْ كِيسِي وَمِنْ كِسْوَتِي حَتَّى لَقَدْ أَوْجَعَنِي ضِرْسِي

  I ate from my purse and from my clothes until my molar ached.

  كِسْوَتَيْ — my clothes. A noun ending in -i 'my', so it fuses 'clothing' with the speaker as owner. Sitting after the preposition it takes the genitive, reading 'from my clothes' as a single governed unit parallel to 'my purse'.
