«أَعَارَنِي إِبْرَةً لِأَرْفُوَ أَطْمَارًا عَفَاهَا الْبِلَى وَسَوَّدَهَا»
He lent me a needle so that I could mend clothes damaged and darkened by wear.
Aʿāranī identifies the borrower with the attached pronoun; ibratan is the borrowed object. Li-arfuw a contains a purpose lām followed by a subjunctive verb. Aṭmāran names the clothes to be mended, while the remaining phrase describes their worn state.
The syntax separates the loan, its purpose, and the condition of the clothes. This distinction matters in the courtroom story because the alleged damage is being explained through the sequence of events.
