Arabic vocabulary
لَابِث is how you say “stayer” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
لقد دخلا غارا لَا يسكنهُ لابث
Indeed, they entered a cave where no one had stayed.
لَابِثٌ — anyone. This is a doer-noun built from 'to tarry', 'one who stays'. It is the subject of the verb, and Arabic's habit of putting the verb first means the subject arrives after it, wearing the '-un' subject ending; with the negation it yields 'no stayer dwells there'.
