Example sentence

قَالَتْ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا مَعَ عَائِشَةِ جَالِسَتَانِ،

She said, "While I was sitting with Aisha,"

جَالِسَتَانِ two were sitting

This is the dual form, Arabic's dedicated 'exactly two' shape, describing the two women as 'both sitting'. It works as the predicate of the scene and takes the dual nominative ending, folding 'the two of us' into the word itself rather than a separate 'two'.

From Aisha Cleared of Slander
