Arabic vocabulary
عَيْنُ is how you say “the very” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
الْلِّسَانُ وَالْعَيْنُ
The tongue and the eye.
الْعَيْنُ — the eye. A definite noun carrying 'the', the second member of the 'tongue and eye' pair. Joined by the preceding 'and', it shares the tongue's role as one of the two things named for discipline. So it completes the pair the earlier lines were building toward.
