بَعْضِهِsome of it

Example sentences

• فَلَفَّتْ الْخُبْزَ بِبَعْضِهِ، ثُمَّ دَسَّتْهُ تَحْتَ ثَوْبِي وَرَدَّتْنِي بِبَعْضِهِ،

  She wrapped the bread with some of it, then tucked it under my garment and sent me back with some of it.

  بِبَعْضِهِ — with some of it. A 'with/in' preposition fused to a 'some/part' noun that carries '-hi' (it) -- 'with part of it'. So one word names the instrument of wrapping: she used some of the scarf, the suffix pointing back to it.

• فَلَفَّتْ الْخُبْزَ بِبَعْضِهِ، ثُمَّ دَسَّتْهُ تَحْتَ ثَوْبِي وَرَدَّتْنِي بِبَعْضِهِ،

  She wrapped the bread with some of it, then tucked it under my garment and sent me back with some of it.

  بِبَعْضِهِ — with some of it. The same 'with part of it' construction as earlier in the sentence: 'with/in' fused to a 'some/part' noun carrying '-hi' (it). She sent him off carrying some of the bread, the suffix pointing back to it.

• وَيَنْسَى مَا قَدْ كَانَ مِمَّا تَتَزَلْزَلُ الأَرْضُ لِبَعْضِهِ

  And he forgets what had been, even when the earth trembles because of part of it!

  لِبَعْضِهِ — for part of it. The 'li-' at the front is a causal link here, 'because of / at', and it governs a noun, 'part', that carries an 'it' suffix pointing back to the grave matter. So the word bundles preposition, noun, and pronoun into 'because of part of it', naming what makes even the earth shake.
