Example sentences

• فَلَبِثَ تِسْعًا وَعِشْرِينَ لَيْلَةً،

  He then remained for twenty-nine nights.

  تِسْعًا — nine. A counting word for 'nine' that opens the compound number 'twenty-nine'. In Arabic such a count governs the thing counted that follows and stands in a fixed phrasing slot, so it is read together with the 'and twenty' coming next as one numeric expression.
