Example sentences

• وَيَتَقَرَّبُ بِتَقْبِيلِ يَدِهِ وَيَعْتَادُ بَرَكَتَهُ، وَيَعْمَلُ بِهَوَّاتِهِ دُونَ شَرْعِ اللَّهِ وَسُنَّتِهِ

  And he seeks closeness by kissing his hand, becomes accustomed to his blessing, and acts according to his whims instead of God's law and His Sunnah.

  بِهَوَّاتِهِ — by whims his. A 'bi-' prefix fronts a plural noun to mark what he acts according to, his whims, and a '-hi' suffix glues 'his' on the end. So one word stacks preposition, noun, and possessor; the suffix ties the whims back to him.
