Arabic vocabulary
فَخِذ is how you say “thighs” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فَأَسْنَدَ رُكْبَتَيْهِ إلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ، وَوَضَعَ كَفَّيْهِ عَلَى فَخِذَيْهِ، وَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَخْبِرْنِي عَنْ الْإِسْلَامِ
He rested his knees against his knees and placed his hands on his thighs, and said: 'O Muhammad, tell me about Islam.'
فَخِذَيْهِ — his thighs. Again the dual, 'two thighs', with an attached -hi (his); here the -hi points to the stranger himself, his own thighs. The dual folds 'two' into the noun's ending.
