Example sentences

• وَأَحَدُكُمْ يَسْرِقُ أَوْزًا جَارِهِ

  And one of you steals his neighbor's geese.

  أَوْزًا — geese. An indefinite noun, geese, marked non-specific by its tail vowel-with-n sound, and it is the thing stolen, so it takes the object case. It also opens a possessive pair, 'geese of...', with the next word as its owner. Being the first of the pair, it leans forward to whom the geese belong.
