Example sentence
وَلِذَلِكَ كَانَتْ تُسَمَّى ذَاتَ النِّطَاقِ،
And for that reason she was called She of the Girdle,
تُسَمَّى be called
This is the passive: she RECEIVES the naming rather than naming anyone, and Arabic marks that with inner-vowel shaping, not a helper like 'was'. Paired with the 'she was' before it, it reads 'used to be called', the namers left unstated, people in general.
