Example sentence

تَخْطَفُهُ وَتَعُوقُهُ عَنِ الْمُرُورِ عَلَيْهِ،

It snatches him and prevents him from passing over it,

تَخْطَفُهُ snatches him

This is a present-tense verb describing an ongoing action, with the doer ('it') already built into the prefix. The -hu stuck on the end is the object 'him', so a single Arabic word packs both the verb and its object. English needs two or three words where Arabic folds them together.
