لِابْنِهِ to his son
Three elements in one word: the 'li-' prefix meaning 'to/towards' that marks the recipient of the speech, the noun for 'son', and a '-hi' (his) glued to the end as possessor. The 'li-' forces the noun into the genitive. So it bundles the addressee, the relationship, and the owner into a single piece: 'to his son'.
