Arabic vocabulary
تَعُوْقُ is how you say “prevent” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
تَخْطَفُهُ وَتَعُوقُهُ عَنِ الْمُرُورِ عَلَيْهِ،
It snatches him and prevents him from passing over it,
وَتَعُوْقُهُ — and prevents him. Same present-tense verb-plus-object pattern as the one before, now with wa- ('and') attached to chain it to the previous action. The wa- here simply coordinates two things the same subject does, so both verbs share one doer and one victim, the -hu 'him' object again riding on the verb's tail.
