Example sentences

• وآخر منهم إن حضر في ختمة أو تلا في محراب جعل ديدنه إحضار غرائب الوجوه والسكت،

  Another of them, when present at a completion or when reciting in the prayer niche, made it his habit to produce strange facial expressions and to remain silent.

  الْوُجُوهِ — the faces. A plural noun with al- 'the', definite, serving as the owning half of the 'of' pairing 'oddities of the faces'. In such a pairing only this final noun keeps its 'the', and its definiteness then colours the whole chain. Sitting as the owned-by member, it takes the genitive ('of') ending.
