بَنَوْthey built

Example sentences

• فَسَلَّطَ عَلَى الرَّدْمِ الَّذِي بَنَوْهُ عَلَى غَيْرِ شُرْبِهِمْ

  So He sent it upon the embankment they had built, preventing them from drinking.

  بَنَوْهُ — they built it. A past-tense 'they' verb with an 'it' object suffix on the end, so it bundles subject, action, and object: 'they-built-it'. The '-u' is its built-in 'they', the people of Sheba, and the suffix is the embankment, looping back to the relative pronoun's antecedent. It sits inside the clause describing that dam.
