قَاتِلِيَّmy killers

Example sentences

• قَالَ زَعَمَ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا أَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّهُمْ قَاتِلِيَّ،

  He said, "He claimed that Muhammad had told them that they were my killers."

  قَاتِلِيَّ — my killers. An active participle 'killers' with an attached -i 'my' (in a special doubled form here), naming who they were said to be *to* the speaker. The suffix fixes the speaker as the intended victim, so tracking that 'my' is the chilling point.
