Example sentences

• فَصَبَبْتُ مِنَ الْمَاءِ عَلَى اللَّبَنِ حَتَّى بَرَدَ أَسْفَلُهُ،

  So I poured water over the milk until its bottom cooled.

  أَسْفَلُهُ — its bottom. A noun with the pronoun '-hu' (its) fused on, meaning 'its bottom', standing as the subject of 'cooled', so it takes the subject ending. The attached '-hu' reaches back to the milk or its vessel. Tracking what that 'its' names is part of reading the line.
