Example sentences

• فَأَتَى بُهْرَةً وَالْجُرَذُ يَحْفِرُ وَلَا يَكْتَرِثُ بِالْهِرَّةِ

  So a female cat came, and the rat was digging and did not pay attention to the cat.

  وَالْجُرَذُ — and the rat. A wa- here switches from coordinating events to opening a side-scene ('meanwhile the rat...'); it introduces a circumstance running alongside the main action. The definite noun after it is the subject of that backdrop clause.
