Arabic vocabulary
ظَّهِيرَةِ is how you say “noon” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وَمِنَ الْغَدِ حَتَّى قَامَ قَائِمُ الظَّهِيرَةِ،
And from the morning until the noon watchman stood up,
الظَّهِيرَةِ — the noon. The second half of the 'of' pairing with the doer-noun before it, so it takes the 'of'-style ending; its fused 'al-' (the) makes it definite. Together they name the midday point. The link between the two nouns is built by adjacency, with no word for 'of'.
