Example sentences

• فَحَلَفَ أَنْ يَتَحَوَّلَ عَنْهُمْ وَيُسْتَبْدَلُوا بِدَارِهِ

  So he swore that he would turn away from them and that they would be replaced in his household.

  وَيَسْتَبْدِلُوا — and they would be replaced. A coordinating wa- on a verb still under the 'to' particle, so it too sits in the subjunctive; the plural marks the people. The action is read as a happening-to (passive sense), the sworn second outcome for them.
