Arabic vocabulary
عِزَّة is how you say “pride” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
كم مطمئن في عزته أخذه بعزته بياتا،
How many, secure in their pride, did He take by His might overnight,
عِزَّتِهِ — his pride. In the genitive because 'in' governs it, this noun carries an attached 'his' pointing back to the secure person, so it means 'his might/pride'. The suffix tracks the possessor, naming the self-importance in which he felt safe.
