وَطِفْلُ and the one led by desire

The connector wa- ('and') fused onto a noun literally 'child', used figuratively for one ruled by something. It heads a possessive link with the next word — 'child of desire' — so it surrenders its own 'the' and forces the following noun into the genitive. The wa- starts a fresh coordinate subject.
