Declension

In fully declined Classical Arabic, شِبْهُ الجَزِيرَةِ العَرَبِيَّةِ ‎(šibhu l-jazīrati l-ʿarabiyyati). شِبْه ‎(šibh, “quasi-”) is in the construct state, and both following terms are in the genitive case, with عَرَبِيَّة ‎(ʿarabiyya, “Arabian”) an adjectival modifier of جَزِيرَة ‎(jazīra, “island”), as described above.
