وَلَمْ يَسْتَفْهِمْهَا كَلَامًا قِطًّا
He never asked her anything verbally.
كَلَامًا — speech. An indefinite noun meaning 'speech, words', the thing not asked for, in the accusative as the object of the verb. The indefinite accusative ending ('-an') flags it both as undefined ('any words') and as what the action falls on. So in the negated clause it is the missing request: he asked her no words at all.
