How to say “number” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
اللَّيَالِيَ ذَوَاتِ الْعَدَدِ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَرْجِعَ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ،
For several nights before he returned to his family,
الْعَدَدِ — a number. This noun completes the 'having a number' pairing, so it sits in the genitive owner-slot. Together the phrase quantifies the nights as 'a number of', i.e. several.
