Example sentence

فَقَالَ وَيْحَكَ أُكْتُبْهُ فَإِنَّ الْأَشْرَافُ يَعْجِبُهُمْ الْمُلَاحَةُ

He said, "Woe to you; write it down, for the nobles admire ornamented speech."

يَعْجِبُهُمْ it pleases them

A present-tense verb ending in -hum 'them', working the reverse of English: the ornamented speech is what pleases, while 'them' (the nobles) are the ones pleased and ride as the object suffix. So the grammatical subject is the speech, not the people.
