رَقَبَتِيmy neck in Arabic

Example sentences

• حَمَلْتُ أُمِّي عَلَى رَقَبَتِي مِنْ خُرَاسَانَ

  I carried my mother on my neck from Khurasan.

  رقبتي — my neck. A body-part noun with -i ('my') fixed to its end, marking the speaker as owner without any standalone possessive word. It is the object governed by 'on' just before it, so the preposition assigns it that object ending. Together with the verb it paints the literal image of the load being borne on the speaker's own neck.
