Example sentence

وَتَمَاسَكَا، فَرُبَّمَا كَانَ شَيْطَانُ الْإِنْسِ أَقْوَى مِنْهُ،

And they held on to each other, for perhaps the human devil was stronger than him.

وَتَمَاسَكَا and held on to each other

The wa- joins this to the previous action, and the verb itself is a form-VI past in the dual ('the two of them grappled with each other'). The form-VI pattern carries built-in mutual action, 'doing it to one another', and the dual ending marks exactly two doers. So one word says 'and they two locked together'.
