صُبَّpoured

Example sentences

• فلو قال قائل على رجعه إلى الفرج الذي صب فيه لم يكن فرق بينه وبين هذا القول ولم يكن أولى منه

  So if someone were to say regarding his return to the outlet into which it was poured, there would be no difference between this and that statement, and it would not be more appropriate than it.

  صُبَّ — it was poured. This verb is passive: 'it was poured', the liquid receiving the action from an unnamed pourer. Arabic marks the passive by changing the verb's internal vowels rather than adding a helper word, and it leaves the doer unstated.
