Example sentence

لَهَا ظِلٌّ لَمْ تَأْتِ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ فَنَزَلْنَا عِنْدَهُ،

It had a shade that the sun did not come upon, so we descended by it.

الشَّمْسُ the sun

A definite noun, made so by its fused 'al-' (the), standing as the subject of 'come' (the sun that did not reach the shade), so it takes the subject ending. Its first letter is a sun-letter, so the 'al-' blends into a doubled 'sh' in speech (ash-shams). It is the doer of the negated coming.
