أَشْرَاطِsigns in Arabic

Example sentences

• قَالَ مَا أَوَّلُ أَشْرَاطِ السَّاعَةِ

  He said, "What are the first signs of the Hour?"

  أَشْرَاطِ — signs. A plural noun 'signs' sitting as the owned-by half under 'first' and the owner-half over 'the Hour', so it links two pairings at once. Its 'of'-type ending shows it is possessed by 'first' while it in turn possesses the Hour.
