Example sentence

وَعَنْ الأَصْمَعِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ الرَّشِيدَ يَقُولُ النَّوَادِرُ تَشْحَذُ الأَذْهَانَ وَتَفْتُقُ الآذَانَ

And from al-Asma'i: I heard al-Rashid say, "Anecdotes sharpen minds and quicken ears."

وَتَفْتُقُ and quicken

Front wa- is the joiner 'and'; the verb is present tense in the feminine-singular shape that Arabic pairs with the non-human plural 'anecdotes'. So the wa- links a second action to the first, both verbs agreeing with the inanimate plural subject.
