أَيْقَظَwake

Example sentences

• فنأى بى طلب الشجر يوماً فلم أرح عليهما حتى ناما فحلبت لهما غبوقهما فوجدتهما نائمين فكرهت أن أوقظهما وأن أغبق قبلهما أهلاً أو مالاً،

  One day, I was delayed by seeking wood and did not return to them until they had fallen asleep. I milked their evening drink for them, but I found them asleep and disliked to wake them or to serve my family or wealth before them.

  أُوقِظَهُمَا — wake them. This is a present-tense verb pushed into the subjunctive by 'to' before it, carrying the dual object -huma, 'them two'. The mood marks the waking as the named act he was reluctant to do; the suffix ties that act to the two parents.
