لِسَانُtongue

Example sentences

• فَإِذَا لِقَاءُهُمْ فَأَخْفِضْ لَهُمْ جَنَاحَكَ وَذَلِّلْ لَهُمْ قَلْبَكَ وَلِسَانَكَ

  So when you meet them, then lower your wing for them and humble your heart and your tongue toward them.

  وَلِسَانَكَ — and your tongue. The wa- on the front is 'and', joining this noun to 'your heart' so both are objects of the same 'humble', and -ka ('your') is fused to its end. So one word coordinates a second object and marks it as the addressee's. The pairing humbles speech alongside feeling.
