Example sentences
اَذهَبُوا بِقَميصِي هَذا فألقُوهُ عَلى وَجهِ أبِي
Take this shirt of mine and cast it over my father's face.
بِقَمِيصِي — with my shirt. The bi- here is the kind that means 'take along with', so the verb 'go' reaches 'my shirt' through it: 'go off with my shirt'. The preposition governs the noun, and the attached -i adds 'my', all fused into one word.
