Example sentence

وفرق بين الإلفين وكم باتا،

And He separated between the two close companions, though they stayed together for long,

الإِلْفَيْنِ the two close companions

This is the dual form, 'the two close companions', in the genitive because 'between' governs it; the dual ending folds 'exactly two' into the noun where English needs a separate 'two'. So the word carries both the count of two and the case at once, naming the pair that was parted.
