عثار stumble

An indefinite noun completing the exclamation — 'what a stumble' — as the owner end of the 'what a ...' link, so it takes the genitive ending. Its indefiniteness suits the open-ended wonder, leaving the magnitude of the fall to the imagination. It names the very event being marvelled at.
