أُقْلِعَuprooted

Example sentences

• وأقلع شجر بستانها وتعطلت المروز،

  Her garden trees were uprooted, and the streams were dried up.

  وَأُقْلِعَ — and were uprooted. The 'and' joins the clause, and beneath it the passive form of the verb means the trees were the ones uprooted by an unnamed agent. Arabic marks the passive by reshaping the verb's inner vowels rather than adding 'were', so the action falls on its receiver, named next as the delayed subject.
