آخِرُ last

This noun means 'last/final' and serves as the predicate, the completing half, of the verbless 'This is...' sentence. It also opens an 'of' pairing with the day-noun that follows, so it reads 'the last of...'. As the predicate it carries the plain subject ending, while the noun it owns goes genitive.
