آخَرother

Example sentences

• فقيل لى، انظر إلى الأفق الآخر، فإذا سواد عظيم،

  Then it was said to me: Look to the other horizon, and there I saw a vast multitude.

  ٱلْآخَرِ — the other. This adjective trails 'horizon' and copies its definite, genitive traits — 'the OTHER horizon', a second one beyond the first. Agreement in case binds it to its noun.
