Wāw rubba (Arabic: وَاوُ رُبَّ) is a usage of the Arabic word wa (Arabic: وَ). Whereas the usual use of wa is as a conjunction (meaning 'and'), the wāw rubba is used, particularly in poetry, in an exclamatory fashion to introduce a new subject. In English, it is sometimes known as the 'and of asseveration'.
