Example sentences

• وَتَنْسَى دُنُوَّ السَّقَمِ،

  And you forget how near sickness is,

  دُنُوٍّ — the nearness of. A noun naming the action of drawing near, indefinite here with the final buzz instead of 'the'. It heads a possessive pairing with the next word, so the two read 'the nearness of sickness'. As the verb's object it is what the person fails to keep in mind.
