كَسَادstagnation

Example sentences

• وَعَشِيرَتُكُمْ وَأَمْوَالُ إِقْتَرَفْتُمُوهَا وَتِجَارَةٌ تَخْشَوْنَ كَسَادُهَا

  and your kin, and wealth you have acquired it, and trade whose stagnation you fear

  كَسَادُهَا — its stagnation. This noun for stagnation carries a tail -ha, 'its', pointing back to the trade. The suffix builds a possessive link, 'its decline', and serves as the object of the fearing verb just before it. So one word names both the dreaded thing and what it belongs to.
