  أَعْلَمِ — most learned. This is a superlative-pattern word, 'the most learned', and it heads a possessive pairing with the noun that follows: 'the most learned of the people'. It sits in the 'of...' (genitive) shape after the preposition, and Arabic builds 'the most X of Y' by setting this pairing up directly.
