Example sentences

• قَالَ وَرَقَةُ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي مَاذَا تَرَى

  Waraqah said, "O son of my brother, what do you see?"

  وَرَقَةُ — Waraqah. The speaker's name arriving after its verb, which already encoded 'he'; the name just tells us who. Its leading w- is part of the name itself, NOT the joining 'and', so it should not be read as a connector here. The clear -u ending marks it as the one doing the speaking.
