Example sentence

لَئِن أدركتهم لأقتلنهم قتل عَاد

If I were to encounter them, I would surely kill them like the killing of Aad.

لَأَقْتُلَنَّهُمْ I would surely kill them

This verb carries a heavy emphasis ending, a doubled n suffix that Arabic adds to swear a strong promise, plus the 'surely' prefix and an attached 'them'. So one word delivers an emphatic vow, 'I will most certainly kill them', with the swearing built into its shape.
