Example sentence
وَأَلْهَاهُمْ طَوْلُ الْأَمَلِ،
And the long duration of hope distracted them.
وَأَلْهَاهُمْ and distracted them
The wa- links this clause on with 'and', riding on a past-tense verb that carries -hum ('them') as its object. The verb puts its subject afterward in the normal order, so 'distracted them' is stated first and the distractor, named next, completes the thought.
