مَرَاتِعِpastures

Example sentences

• كَمَا يَذُودُ الرَّاعِيُ الشَّفِيقُ غَنَمَهُ عَنْ مَرَاتِعِ الْهَلَكَةِ

  Just as the compassionate shepherd wards his flock away from pastures of destruction.

  مَرَاتِعِ — pastures. This is a plural noun, governed by the 'away from' before it and so in the governed form. It heads a possessive pairing with 'destruction' that follows, meaning 'pastures of...'. As the front half of that pairing it takes its definiteness from the owning noun after it.
