Example sentence

وَقَوْلِيُ لَهُ غَيَّرَ عَتَبَةَ بَابِهِ

And when I told him, he changed the threshold of his door.

عَتَبَةَ the threshold

This noun heads a possessive pairing with 'his door' that follows, so it reads 'threshold of...', and it is the direct object of the changing verb, in the object form. As the front half of the pairing it draws its definiteness from the owning noun after it. So it is both object and the start of an of-relationship.
