صَخْرَةً a rock

This noun is repeated to express a distributive 'rock by rock', and the accusative ending marks it as an adverbial measure of how the removing proceeds, piece by piece. The doubling, not a separate phrase, is what conveys the one-at-a-time sense. It pairs with the identical next word.
