iltihabna

Iltihabna (إلتهابنا) is the transliteration of an Arabic phrase that literally means “our inflammation.” It is not a standalone medical term or a proper noun; rather, it is the combination of the noun إلتهاب, meaning inflammation, with the first-person plural possessive suffix نا, meaning “our.” The result is a possessive noun phrase used to refer to inflammation experienced or discussed by a group including the speaker.

Linguistically, إلتهاب is the noun for inflammation, widely used in medical Arabic. The suffix نا attaches to the end of the noun to indicate possession by “us.” As with other Arabic possessive forms, the pronoun suffix changes the meaning of the base word from a general concept to a specific reference involving the speaker and others.

Usage and context are important for this form. In everyday speech or patient narratives, iltihabna would appear in a sentence describing a shared condition or concern, such as when a group discusses their collective inflammatory condition. In formal medical writing, however, one would typically use إلتهاب (inflammation) or specify the affected site with a phrase like التهاب الرئة (lung inflammation) rather than the possessive form.
