سَاعِيِrunner

Example sentences

• فَإِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ مَا غَوَّايَتُهُمْ بِالْحَدِيثِ إِلَّا كَغَوَّايَةِ الْمُصَارِعِ وَالسَّاعِيِ وَلاَعِبِ الْحَمَّامِ،

  For indeed these people, their misguidance by hadith is no more than the misguidance of the wrestler, the runner, and the pigeon-player.

  وَالسَّاعِيِ — and the runner. The connector wa- adds a second figure to the list, on a definite noun (al-) naming a role, 'the runner'. The wa- here simply strings parallel items, keeping this noun in the same 'of'-style ending as the wrestler it joins.
