Example sentences

• فَحَلَبَ فِي قَعْبٍ كُثْبَةً مِنْ لَبَنٍ،

  Then he milked into a small container a lump of milk.

  لَبَنٍ — milk. An indefinite noun, milk, governed by the partitive 'of' before it, so it sits in the 'of'-style ending; its trailing '-in' marks it indefinite. It names the substance the small amount came from. The preposition is what assigns it that ending.
