Example sentences

وَلَكِنَّهُ إِذَا أَحَسَّ بِهِ اِلتَفَتَ إِلَيْهِ فَيَضْعُفُ سَعْيُهُ،
But when he senses him, he turns toward him, and his running weakens.
سَعْيُهُ — his running. This noun carries -hu ('his') and is the subject of the verb before it, so it takes the plain subject ending: 'his running'. The attached possessor ties the running to the gazelle. Being the doer of 'weakens', it is what slackens once the gazelle looks back.
