Example sentences

• اللَّهُمَّ لَا تَجْعَلْهُ آخِرَ العَهْدِ مِنْ هَذَا المَكَانِ

  O Allah, do not make this my last visit to this place.

  آخِرَ — last. A noun 'last' that opens a possessive chain and is incomplete until the next noun, giving 'the last of...'. It is in the object case as a second object of 'make', while it owns the noun that follows.

  آخِرَ — end. This noun means 'end/last part' and is the predicate of the 'to be' verb, so it carries the accusative ending that verb imposes. It also heads an 'of' pairing with the night-noun after it, building 'the last of the night'. The accusative marks it as what the moment 'was'.

• فَإِنَّ آخِرَ مَرَاتِبِ الْحُبِّ هُوَ التَّتِيمُ وَأَوَّلُهُ العَلَاقَةُ لِتَعَلُّقِ القَلْبِ بِالْمَحْبُوبِ

  So indeed, the final rank of love is orphanhood, and its first is attachment for the attachment of the heart to the beloved.

  آخِرَ — final. A noun 'final/last' opening a possessive pair, governed into the accusative by the emphatic particle before it. As owner-side it leads into 'the last of the ranks', and the emphasis-particle sets its case.
