نَافِضٍshaking

Example sentences

• فَمَا أَفَاقَتْ إِلَّا وَعَلَيْهَا حُمَّى بِنَافِضٍ،

  So she did not regain consciousness except that a fever with shaking was upon her.

  بِنَافِضٍ — with shaking. The prefix bi- here means 'accompanied by / coming with', attaching this noun to the fever as a feature it brings along, so the whole reads 'a fever with shaking'. The preposition forces the noun after it into the 'of'-style (genitive) ending, and the link it sets up is descriptive: it tells you what kind of fever, not a separate event.
