Arabic vocabulary
يَرْوِيَ is how you say “to narrate” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فَمَا حَظُّ الْوَاحِدِ مِنْ هَؤُلاَءِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَسْمَعَ لِيَرْوِيَ فَقَطْ
As for any one of them, his lot is only to listen so that he may narrate.
لِيَرْوِيَ — so that he narrates. The prefixed 'li-' here is a purpose-marker, 'in order that', and it forces the following verb into the subjunctive shape just as 'an' does. So the verb's ending shifts to flag aim rather than fact: he listens not as a happening but with the goal of being able to narrate.
