How to say “torrent” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
فَأَرْسَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ سَيْلَ الْعُرَمِ
So He sent upon them the devastating torrent Aram.
سَيْلَ — a torrent. A noun standing as the thing sent, so it takes the object-style ending as the direct target of 'sent'. It also heads an 'of' chain with the next word, 'the torrent of Aram', so it is at once the verb's object and the possessed head leaning onto the name that follows.
