Example sentences

• فَأَرْصَدْتُهَا لِأَوْقَاتِ زِيَارَتِهِمْ،

  So I set it aside for the times of their visits.

  زيارتهم — their visits. An action noun with -hum ('their') attached, the owned member completing 'the times of their visits'. The action noun turns 'visiting' into a thing, the attached possessor makes it definite, and -hum ties it to the visitors. It sits in the genitive as the second member of the pairing.
