Example sentences

• فَقَصَّتَا عَلَيْهِ الْقِصَّةَ

  Then the two women told him the story.

  فَقَصَّتَا — so the two women told. A 'then' is fused to a past-tense verb wearing the feminine dual ending, so the two women are the tellers, marked inside the verb. The 'then' advances the scene to their recounting. The dual ending again signals precisely two female subjects without any separate number word.
