Example sentence

وَدُثِرَتْ مَعَاهِدُهُ عِنْدَهُمْ فَلَيْسُوا يَعْمُرُونَهَا،

And his sanctuaries were concealed from them, so they do not inhabit them.

وَدُثِرَتْ and were concealed

Here a connecting 'wa-' is fused to a passive past verb: the sanctuaries receive the action, they were blotted out, rather than doing it. Arabic marks the passive by reshaping the verb's inner vowels instead of adding 'were', and the feminine '-at' ending agrees with the plural-of-things subject that follows.
