بِوَاسِطِ for the duration of

This is the preposition bi- attached to a place name (Wasit). With a verb of staying, bi- marks the location where the staying happened, anchoring him at that spot. The token therefore fuses 'in/at' with the place into one word, and the place name takes the genitive that bi- forces on it.
