Example sentences

• الْغَنِيمَةَ ـ أَيِّ قَوْمِ ـ الْغَنِيمَةَ،

  The spoils — O people — the spoils,

  الْغَنِيمَةَ — the spoils. A noun 'the spoils', made definite by its built-in 'the', shouted here as a call to seize them; the object-style ending fits an understood 'go for the spoils'. It is the prize being urged on the hearers.

• الْغَنِيمَةَ ـ أَيِّ قَوْمِ ـ الْغَنِيمَةَ،

  The spoils — O people — the spoils,

  الْغَنِيمَةَ — the spoils. The same noun 'the spoils' repeated for urgency, definite by its built-in 'the' and again in the object shape of an understood 'seize the spoils'. The repetition is rhetorical force, hammering the call home.
