  And they continue taking turns reciting verses from different chapters until their recitation is complete.

  آيات — verses. A broken plural 'verses', the object of 'take turns reciting', so it takes the object-style ending. The vowels are recast inside to mark plurality rather than an added ending. It names what they pass back and forth in their alternating recitation.
