ثَارُواthey rushed

Example sentences

• فَضَرَبُوهُ وَثَارُوا إِلَيْهِ،

  So they struck him and rushed at him.

  وَثَارُوا — and they rushed. The leading wa- coordinates this onto the striking as a second simultaneous act ('and'). The verb is plural past with 'they' carried in its -u ending, so the surge is presented as the same crowd's continued action.
