لَفْتَةِ a turning

This noun is the owned middle of a possessive chain, joining the letter to the body-word that follows so the three read as one vivid image. Sitting inside that chain it takes the 'of' (genitive) form. Its grammar, not its dictionary sense, is what binds the heartfelt phrase together.
