رَحْلpack-saddle

Example sentences

• فَاشْتَرَى مِنْهُ رَحْلاً

  So he bought a pack-saddle from him.

  رَحْلاً — pack-saddle. An indefinite noun (no 'the') serving as the object of 'bought', so it takes the object ending with the indefinite '-an' tail. That added '-n' sound is Arabic's way of marking 'a/an' on the end of a word rather than with a separate article. It names the thing purchased.
