خُنْتَyou betrayed

Example sentences

• إِنْ تَكُنْ خُنْتَنَا فَعَنْكَ عَفَا اللَّهُ وَإِنْ كُنْتُ خُنْتُكُمْ فَاعْفُ عَنِّي

  If you betrayed us, may God forgive you; and if I betrayed you, forgive me.

  خُنْتَنَا — you betrayed us. A past-tense verb with its 'you' subject built in by its ending and an attached 'us' as its object, so one word holds the doer and the wronged party. It states the betrayal supposed in the 'if'. Both persons ride inside the single form.
