Arabic vocabulary
How to say “wood” in Arabic, with pronunciation and an example from OpenArabic texts.
ويكفي إيصالُ الترابِ إلى الوجهِ واليدينِ بأيِّ وسيلةٍ ممكنةٍ؛ باليدِ أو بخرقةٍ أو خشبةٍ
It is sufficient to apply the dust to the face and hands by any means possible, whether by hand, cloth, or wood.
خَشَبَةٍ — wood. 'a piece of wood,' indefinite, in the -i form — the 'by' carries over from before, so 'or [by] a stick.' A third example of an acceptable means; even a stick suffices to get the dust onto the limbs.
