بَوَّابٌ a doorkeeper

An indefinite noun 'a doorkeeper', the delayed subject of the existential 'there was', placed after its location in Arabic's normal order for such 'there is' sentences. Its intensive pattern marks a habitual-role agent, and its indefinite subject ending suits the 'a certain doorkeeper existed' sense.
