عِلَاجِtreatment

Example sentences

• وَعِلَاجُ الأَبْدَانِ أَيْسَرُ خَطَبًا حِينَ تَعْتَلُ مِنْ عِلَاجِ الْعُقُولِ

  And the treatment of bodies is an easier matter when they fall ill than the treatment of minds.

  عِلَاجِ — treatment of. This is again the head of an 'of' pairing, owning the noun that follows, which is why it lacks its own article and takes a (genitive) ending after the comparative 'than'. It mirrors the earlier 'treatment of bodies', setting up the contrast at the heart of the sentence. The pairing is completed only by the next word.
