بَطَلَةuseless

Example sentences

• وأعوذ بالله أن أكون قد ضيعت الزمان في نعت بطلة الطلبة ،

  And I seek refuge in God from having wasted time in praising a useless student,

  بَطَلَةِ — of a useless. This noun, 'a do-nothing, a useless one', sits in the possessed, 'of'-type ending because 'the praising' before it owns it: 'the praising of a useless...'. It heads a further possessive pairing with the next word, owning it in turn, chaining the 'of' relationship onward.
