Example sentence
وعلى عمه الذي قال فيه الرسول عمي وصنو أبي،
And upon his uncle, of whom the Prophet said: 'He is my uncle and like my father.'
عَمِّهِ his uncle
The attached -hi adds 'his', pointing back to the Prophet, so the owner is fused onto the noun. Standing after the preposition 'upon', the noun carries the post-preposition ending, and a relative clause describing the uncle follows.

And upon his uncle, of whom the Prophet said: 'He is my uncle and like my father.'
عَمِّي my uncle
The attached -i adds 'my', so 'my uncle'. This sits inside the quoted speech as the predicate of a verbless statement, 'he is my uncle', with no word for 'is' needed before it.
