Example sentences
يَشْرَبُ وَيَتَوَضَّأُ،
He drank and performed ablution.
وَيَتَوَضَّأُ — and he performs ablution. The 'wa-' (and) joins this verb to the drinking before it, fused onto a present-tense verb whose 'he' subject is built in. It strings the washing onto the drinking as a paired action. The verb is built on a stem-pattern marking an action one does to oneself, here performing one's own ablution.
