Arabic vocabulary
جنب is how you say “side” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وَلَيْسَ بِشَاغِلٍ يَشْغَلُكَ عَنِ اللَّهِ كَنَفْسِكَ الَّتِي هِيَ بَيْنَ جَنْبَيْكَ
And nothing can distract you from Allah like your own self between your sides.
جَنْبَيْكَ — your sides. 'janb' = 'side'; the '-ay-' marks two (a dual, 'two sides'); '-ka' = 'your', so 'your two sides'.
