Example sentences

وَلِيَبْقَيْنَ مُضْغَةً فِي الأَلْسَنَيْنِ ،
And let a morsel remain on the two tongues,
الأَلْسَنَيْنِ — the two tongues. This is a dual noun, Arabic's dedicated 'exactly two' form, folded into the ending of the word rather than written with a separate 'two'. It also wears the 'of...' (genitive) shape after the preposition 'fi', so the dual ending alone tells you 'on the two tongues' of the people who keep retelling the tale.
