Example sentence

فنزلنا منزلاً،

So we stopped at a place.

فَنَزَلْنَا So we stopped

This joins the prefix fa- (so) to a past-tense verb carrying the 'we' subject in its ending, so one word means 'so we halted'. The fa- ties this action as the next step after the previous clause; Arabic strings narrative along with these light connecting prefixes.

لَهَا ظِلٌّ لَمْ تَأْتِ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ فَنَزَلْنَا عِنْدَهُ،

It had a shade that the sun did not come upon, so we descended by it.

فَنَزَلْنَا so we descended

The 'fa-' (so/then) marks the next step, the result of finding the shade, fused onto a past verb whose '-na' ending means 'we'. So one chunk both links and reports the group's descending. The first-person plural subject rides inside that ending.
