الْمَلْعُونُ the accursed one

A passive participle, 'the one who has been cursed', made definite by 'al-', used as a noun-epithet for the figure and standing as the subject of 'said'. Arabic builds this 'one who was X-ed' sense through the participle's pattern. The article and noun-use turn it into a stand-in name.
