How to say “sailor” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
وينزل القطر إذا شاء فيبهت السماك والعوى،
And He sends down rain when He wills, bewildering the sailor and the orbits.
السِّمَاكَ — the sailor. This definite noun is the thing acted upon and sits in the object ending. The 'the' marks it as a specific known thing, and the object ending shows it receives the bewildering rather than causing it.
