Arabic vocabulary
How to say “ravens” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
تبدلت أوراقه عن الورق غربان البين فقامت تندب الآثار
Its leaves were replaced by the ravens of parting, and they stood lamenting the traces,
غِرْبَانَ — ravens. This noun is the replacement that the leaves turned into, set in the accusative as the thing that came in their stead, and it heads a possessive pairing, 'ravens of...'. So it both takes the case of what replaced and opens the 'of' relationship completed by the next word.
