A new word or phrase from the Hans Wehr dictionary, every Wednesday.

Root: ط-و-ي
Page: 675*
Example: “لَمْ يُعامِلْ المَشاعِرَ الكامِنةَ في طَوايا نَفسِه”
Translation: “he hadn’t addressed the feelings concealed in the innermost recesses of his soul”
Notes:
- We looked at a phrase from the same root in Wehr Wednesdays #106!
- This phrase also reminds me of a synonyms post from a while back, Two Arabic Verbs Meaning “to Harbour Feelings”
