فَأَخَذَتَا — then they began to. A 'then' is fused to a past-tense verb that here means 'set about / began to', a verb that hands off the main action to the verb following it. Its ending is the dual, so the two women are the subjects doing the beginning. This 'began-to' verb plus the next verb work as a team to express 'they two started arguing'.
