والكبير and the large
The connector wa- ('and') fused onto an adjective with al- ('the') — 'and the large'. The wa- coordinates it with 'the small' to complete the merism small-and-large, meaning matters of every size. It agrees with the noun in definiteness and genitive case, as Arabic adjectives do.
