Example sentence

لَيْتَنِي فِيهَا جَذْعًا،

I wish I were a stump in it,

جَذْعًا a stump

The predicate completing the wish 'if only I were ...': the speaker pictures himself as this thing. Because the wishing particle governs it like kaana, the noun takes the -an accusative you can hear, even though English just says 'a stump' after 'were'. Left indefinite, hence 'a'.
