وَالْقِذَى and the grit

The 'wa-' (and) adds the final item to the cleaning-list, fused onto a definite noun whose 'al-' (the) is pulled in. It too falls under the earlier 'from' and keeps the 'of'-style ending. The word ends in a long 'a' written with a special silent letter, part of its fixed spelling rather than an ending.
