Arabic vocabulary
رَفْعُ is how you say “raising” in Arabic. Hear it pronounced and see it used in a real example sentence from classical texts below.
وَإِنَّمَا رَفْعُهُ إِلَى فَوْقِ يَحْتَاجُ إِلَى التَّكَلُّفِ
Rather, raising it upward requires deliberate effort.
رَفْعُهُ — raising it. An action-noun ('raising') with the pronoun '-hu' ('it') fused on as its object, so 'raising it' is one word. It heads the sentence as the subject, and the attached pronoun points back to the water as the thing being raised.
