Arabic vocabulary
How to say “stray” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
بل يتركهم هملًا بمنزلة الأنعام السائمة
Rather, leaving them to wander like grazing cattle.
هَمَلًا — stray. This noun names the resulting state, abandoned and untended, and wears the indefinite accusative ending heard as '-an'. It works as a state-description hanging off the verb, telling you the condition in which they are left rather than naming a new thing.
From: False Prophets →OpenArabic teaches words like هَمَلٌ through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
