Example sentence
أَدْخَلَتْنِي بَيْتًا وَأَغْلَقَتْ عَلَيَّ
She brought me into a room and shut me in.
عَلَيَّ on me
This fuses the preposition 'upon/over' with the attached 'me'. With the shutting verb the phrase means 'shut upon me', i.e. shut him in: the preposition marks the person enclosed, the one the door closed over. So one word names both the relationship and its target, the trapped narrator.

He said, "I am in need, and I have dependents, and I have an urgent need."
وَعَلَيَّ and on me
The connector 'wa-' adds a parallel clause; here it links a possessive-style statement, a preposition 'upon' fused to a 'me' pronoun that means 'I have'. Arabic expresses 'I have dependents' as 'upon me are dependents', and this 'wa- + upon-me' opens that.
قَالَ دَعْنِي فَإِنِّي مُحْتَاجٌ، وَعَلَيَّ عِيَالٌ لَا أَعُودُ،
He said, "Let me go; I am in need and have dependents. I will not return."
وَعَلَيَّ and upon me
The connector 'wa-' adds a parallel clause; here a preposition 'upon' fused to a 'me' pronoun builds the have-construction 'upon me are...'. Arabic says 'I have dependents' as 'upon me are dependents', and this opens that clause.
ثُمَّ يَرُدُّ عَلَيَّ الْقَدَحَ،
Then he returns the cup to me.
عَلَيَّ to me
The preposition 'to/upon' fused with 'me', one word for 'to me', marking the narrator as the one the cup comes back to. The pronoun attaches to the preposition, lengthening it. It is the endpoint of the returning.
