Arabic vocabulary
How to say “register” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وَلَقَدْ نَظَرْتُ فِي ثَبْتِ الْكُتُبِ الْمَوْقُوفَةِ فِي الْمَدْرَسَةِ النِّظَامِيَّةِ؛
Indeed, I examined the register of books endowed to the Nizamiyya school.
ثَبْتِ — the register of. This noun heads an 'of' pairing meaning 'the register of...': it leans on the noun after it and takes its definiteness from that owner, so it drops any 'the' of its own. As the first member it sits in the genitive after 'in'. The bare side-by-side placement is how Arabic says 'X of Y'.
