Example sentences

وَأَمَّا حَارِثَةُ فَإِنَّهُ كَانَ يَفْلِي رَأْسَ أُمِّهِ
As for Haritha, he used to stroke his mother's head.
رَأْسَ — head. A noun meaning 'head', the thing stroked, and so the object of the verb before it, taking the accusative ending that marks a direct object. It also heads an 'of' pairing with 'his mother' that follows, building 'his mother's head'. So it is both the object of the verb and the owned-by chain's first link.
