Example sentence
فيهم فلان ليس منهم، إنما جاء لحاجة،
Among them is so-and-so who is not one of them; he only came for a need.
إِنَّمَا he only
This is the restriction-particle 'only / merely' — it limits the statement to a single reason: he came 'only' for an errand. Arabic packs the 'nothing but' force into this one fused word, narrowing what follows.
