إِزَالَةِto remove in Arabic

Example sentences

• وَقَالَ وَهْبُ لِإِزَالَةِ الْجَبَلَ صَخْرَةً صَخْرَةً

  And Wahb said, 'To remove the mountain, rock by rock.'

  لِإِزَالَةِ — to remove. The prefix li- here marks purpose, 'in order to', riding on a verbal noun (a noun naming the action 'removing'). So it builds 'to remove' as a goal. The li- forces that action-noun into the (genitive) as its object.
