Example sentences
وَالْمُتَزَهِّدُ مُنَافِقٌ أَوْ مُرَاءٌ
And the ascetic is either a hypocrite or a show-off.
مُرَاءٌ — a show-off. A second indefinite predicate noun, the other half of the 'either...or' pairing, again attached to the subject without any 'is'. Because it is coordinated by the 'or' before it, it shares the same predicate role: the alternative label the ascetic may instead deserve.
