How to say “the mint” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.

He has the mint and the sermon, but he has no binding ruling or authority.
الْسَّكَّةُ — the mint. A definite noun functioning as the delayed subject of the verbless 'he has' clause: it is the thing possessed, 'the mint/coinage'. Its 'the' marks it as a known institution. Because the 'for him' came first, this noun reads as what he holds.
