Epithet exclamation: it is also available in Arabic. For example when the wife of the prophet
Ibrahiim is informed of begetting a child while she and her husband are very old she was surprised and her
immediate response was uttering an epithet
Faskkat wajh-a-ha wa- qalat
؟ajuz-un ؟ aqiim (Qur'an : 51- 29)
Then she beat her face and said 'an old sterile woman (Ghali, 2008:521)

available in Arabic as indicated by the following:
-Xatab-ha
؟abbas el-helw qabla safarihi ?ila a-ttal elkabiir
-?abbas el-helw! (Mahfouz, 1977: 142)

Single word exclamation: it is stated by Haywood & Nahmad, (1965: 446) that 'certain nouns are
used in the accusative as interjections. For example:
marħaba! 'welcome' and
؟ajaban! 'strange'. The
thundering cries 'bread! Freedom! Social justice' ushering in the 25

marginalization.

ma la-hum bi-hi min
؟elmin wa-la li-?abaa?i –him (Qur'an : 18-5)
In no way do they have any knowledge of it, nor their fathers (Ghali, 2008: 294)

šhad-tu-hum xalq-as samawati wa-al-?ardi wa-la xalqa ?anfusi-him (Qur'an: 18- 51)
