Arabic vocabulary
جَنَاحُ is how you say “wing” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
فَإِذَا لِقَاءُهُمْ فَأَخْفِضْ لَهُمْ جَنَاحَكَ وَذَلِّلْ لَهُمْ قَلْبَكَ وَلِسَانَكَ
So when you meet them, then lower your wing for them and humble your heart and your tongue toward them.
جَنَاحَكَ — your wing. This noun has -ka, the 'your' (masculine) possessor, fused to its end, so one word means 'your wing'. It is the direct object of the command 'lower', in the object form. The possessor folds the addressee straight into the noun rather than using a separate word.
