Example sentences

• وَكَانَ بَعْضُ النَّاسِ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْهِ، وَيَسْتَمِعُونَ مِنْهُ، وَيُمْلِي عَلَيْهِمْ،

  Some people would visit him, listen to him, and he would dictate to them.

  وَيَسْتَمِعُونَ — and they listen. Here wa- coordinates this verb with the previous one, stacking a second habitual action onto the first; both hang off the same earlier kana, so this too reads as 'they used to listen'. The -una ending again carries the 'they' subject. The conjunction is simply chaining parallel actions of the same group.
