Example sentence

وقد قال بعض العارفين نفسك التي بين جنبيك هي عدوك الأكبر، فإذا غلبتها فقد غلبت كل شيء

And some of the knowers have said: 'Your self, which is between your sides, is your greatest enemy, and if you conquer it, you have conquered everything.'

جَنْبَيْكَ your two sides

This is a dual noun meaning 'your two sides', the object of 'between', with -ka 'your' attached. The dual is Arabic's dedicated 'exactly two' form, folding the count into the word's ending where English would need the word 'two'; here that ending also shifts for the possessive object slot.
