Example sentences
وَقَالْوُا مَا لَكِ عِندَنَا مِنْ عُبُورٍ،
And they said: What right of passage do you have with us?
لَكِ — for you. This is the preposition li- ('for/to') fused with the pronoun -ki ('you', addressed to a female). Together they mean 'for you', and the choice of the feminine -ki shows the revelation is being addressed as a woman. The word supplies the 'you have' sense the verbless question needs.
