Example sentence

أرسل طوفان الفتن فغطى البحار الزخر،

He sent a flood of trials that covered the roaring seas,

البِحَارَ the seas

This definite noun is the thing the verb acts upon, and it sits in the object ending rather than the subject ending. The leading 'the' marks specific known seas, and that object ending is what shows they receive the covering rather than perform it.

بَحْرِ sea of

A noun 'sea', governed by the 'in' before it so it carries the genitive, and itself the head of a possessive pairing with 'his thought' that follows. It builds the metaphor 'the sea of his thought', the deep he dives into for pearls.
