بَعْضُهُمْsome of them

Example sentences

• وَأَنْشَدَ بَعْضُهُمْ

  And some of them recited:

  بَعْضُهُمْ — some of them. This noun is the delayed subject of 'recited', so it sits in the nominative as the doer; it carries an attached '-them' at its end, building 'some of them'. The suffix points back to a group mentioned earlier. So one word names the partial subject and tracks whom it is part of.
