Example sentence
قَالَ يَا غُلاَمُ،
He said, 'O boy,'
غُلاَمُ boy
This is the one being addressed by the calling particle before it, the person hailed directly. In this address construction the noun takes a bare single-vowel ending rather than the doubled tanwin it would carry normally. So its shape itself signals 'this is who I am speaking to'.
