ضَمَّreceiving

Example sentences

• وصيرها مساكن الخلق تربيهم صغارًا وتضمهم رفاتا،

  And He made it the dwellings of creation, nurturing them as infants and receiving them as remains,

  وَتَضُمُّهُمْ — and receiving them. The 'and' joins a second verb, and beneath it a present-tense verb means 'gathers them in', with its feminine 'it' subject built in for the earth and an attached 'them' object. It pairs with the rearing verb to span the whole arc, the earth raising the living and later receiving the dead.

  ضَمَّ — he added. This is a completed-action verb meaning 'joined / added', with its 'he' subject built in. It sets up a structure where one thing is added onto another, here love added on top of fathering. The objects it links are spelled out across the rest of the long sentence.
