Example sentences

فلبثت والقدح على يدى أنتظر استيقاظهما حتى برق الفجر والصبية يتضاغون عند قدمى فاستيقظا فشربا غبوقهما
So I waited with the vessel in my hand until dawn broke, and the children were crying at my feet. They then awoke and drank their evening drink.
فَاسْتَيْقَظَا — they awoke. This stacks the connector fa- onto a past-tense verb in the dual, 'so they two awoke'. The fa- moves the story to its resolution, and the dual ending pins the waking to exactly the two parents.
