Like water, I rolled it over a smooth stone.

كَمَاءً like water

The prefix ka- ('like') is a comparison particle fused onto the front of the noun; it sets up a simile and forces the noun after it into the genitive. Notice Arabic doesn't need a separate word for 'a' here: the indefinite '-an' ending built into the word already carries 'a/some water'.
