Example sentence

وَكَمْ مِنْ شُجَاعٍ فِي صَفِّ الْحَرْبِ اُغْتِيِلَ،

How many a brave man in the ranks of battle was treacherously slain.

اُغْتِيِلَ was treacherously slain

This is the passive form of the verb: the brave man did not slay; he was slain, and by stealth. Arabic marks the passive by reshaping the inner vowels rather than adding a helper like English 'was', so the unnamed killer stays hidden and only the deed to the victim remains.
