Example sentence

يَطُوفُ بِهَا حَوْلَ الْبَيْتِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ

He walks around the house with her, saying

الْبَيْتُ the house

This noun carries al- 'the' and is the owner half of the 'around...' pairing, so it should sit in the genitive. Arabic builds 'around the house' by setting the place-word against this noun, the genitive ending marking the relationship. The definiteness points to a specific, known structure.
