نُوحNoah

Example sentences

• فَيَأْتُونَ نُوحًا

  So they come to Noah.

  نُوحًا — to Noah. A proper name in the object form, the goal the coming reaches; the motion-verb treats its destination-person as a direct object, hence the object ending. Being a name it is definite already. English supplies 'to', while Arabic just sets the goal in the object slot.

  نُوحٍ — Noah. A proper name in the genitive because the preposition before it governs that ending. It is the destination of the command, the figure they are told to go to.
