حَيَّةٌsnake

Example sentences

• لا ينسى رزق الحمل ولا يهمل قوت النمل ولا الحيات في الرمل تطوى،

  He does not forget the provision for the fetus nor neglect the nourishment of the ants or the snakes coiled in the sand.

  الحَيَّاتِ — the snakes. This definite noun is pulled to the front for emphasis but is the thing acted upon, so it sits in the object ending. The 'the' marks the snakes as known, and the accusative shape shows they receive the action of the verb that comes later in the clause.
