Example sentences

فَشَرِبْتُ يَوْمًا عِنْدَ خِدْنِ لَيِّ حَتَّى ثَمِلْتُ وَزَالَ عَقْلِي،
One day I drank at a man's house until I became intoxicated and my mind left me.
عَقْلِي — my mind. This noun carries the attached possessive '-i' (my), so one word says 'my mind'. It is the subject of the verb 'departed' just before it, even though it comes after the verb, which is normal Arabic order. The suffix points back to the narrator, keeping the loss of reason personal to him.
