Example sentence

وَقَدْ ضَرَبْتُ لِذَلِكَ مَثَلَيْنِ، فَلْيَكُونَا مِنْكَ عَلَى بَالٍ

I have already given two examples for that, so keep them in mind:

فَلْيَكُونَا so let them be

A rich little verb: the fa- draws the consequence ('so'), the la- is the command-particle that turns a present verb into a third-person 'let...', and the verb itself is the dual 'to be' meaning 'let the two of them be'. The la- bends the verb into its clipped jussive shape, the mark of an indirect command. So the word issues 'so let them both be (kept in mind)'.
