Example sentence

فَقَالَ إِنَّ لِيَّ أُمًّا بَلَغَ بِهَا الْكِبَرُ،

He said, "I have a mother who has reached old age,"

أمًا a mother

This noun has no al- and carries an open tanwin ending, marking it as indefinite, 'a mother', while sitting in the object-like form the emphatic 'indeed' demands of the noun it grips. So its ending shows both indefiniteness and the particle's grip. It is the topic of the man's complaint.
