Example sentence

فَخَرَجَتْ إِلَى التَّنُّورِ فَإِذَا هِيَ كَالْرَّغِيفِ الْمَحْرُوقِ

She went out to the oven, and behold, she was like a burnt loaf.

كَالْرَّغِيفِ like the loaf

This fuses the comparison-prefix ka- ('like') with a definite noun marked by al-, giving 'like the loaf'. The ka- is a bound preposition meaning 'resembling', and it puts the following noun in the genitive. It builds the simile that completes 'she was like...', with the next word narrowing which kind of loaf.
