وُجُوهُtheir faces

Example sentences

• فَلَمَّا أَتَوْهُمْ صُرِفَتْ وُجُوهُهُمْ

  When they came to them, their faces were turned away.

  وُجُوهُهُمْ — their faces. A plural noun 'faces' with a '-hum' 'their' tail attached, so one word means 'their faces'; it stands as what was turned. As a non-human plural it pairs with the feminine-singular verb, the standard agreement pattern.
