Just as a man may love his son and his friend.

وَلَده and his son

This bundles the linking wa- with a noun and a tail -hu, 'his', making 'and his son' the object of the loving. The suffix attaches the possessor directly to the noun, so ownership is built into the word rather than expressed by a separate word.
