فَرَفَعْتُ يَدِي فَلَكَزْتُهَا
Then I raised my hand and jabbed her.
فَلَكَزْتُهَا — and I jabbed her. Here the fa- links a second, swifter action onto the first, 'and then I struck her', conveying that the blow followed instantly on the raised hand. The verb is past tense with the -tu 'I', and an attached object suffix '-ha' adds 'her'. The fa- specifically marks the strike as the immediate next motion.
