Example sentences

• فَإِذَا بِأُمِّي تُوَقِدُ تَنُّورًا لَنَا،

  Then my mother lit an oven for us.

  تَنُّورًا — an oven. An indefinite noun serving as the thing being lit, the object of the verb before it, and it takes the accusative ending that marks a direct object. The final '-an' sound is the indefinite accusative, doing two jobs at once: flagging 'an (not the) oven' and flagging it as what the action falls upon.
