and grapes and fresh herbs,
Qaḍb derives from the verb to cut, and commentators took it as a green crop that is cut and grows back to be cut again, lucerne in some reports and edible greens in others. Placed beside grapes, it pairs a fruit that needs years of tending on the vine with a plant that returns weeks after the sickle. Each plant in this list keeps a different clock, from the grain sown each season to the olive that outlives whoever planted it.
