Example sentences
قَالَ أَمْهِلْنِي يَوْمَيْ هَذَا
He said, "Grant me these two days."
يَوْمَيْ — two days. The dual, Arabic's 'exactly two' form, here 'two days', and the object of the granting. The final 'n' the dual normally carries is dropped because the demonstrative 'this' follows and forms an 'of'-type chain with it. The count of two lives in the word's shape, not a separate number word.
