أَضْنَىwear out

Example sentences

• وإذا أمسى كأنه مريض أضناه السقم

  And when it was evening, it was as if he were a sick person worn out by illness.

  أَضْنَاهُ — wore him out. This past-tense verb has an attached 'him' as its object, so one word means 'wore him out', and it waits for its named subject to follow. The fused 'him' points to the sick man the simile describes.
