Example sentence
لَبِثْتُ سَنَةً وَأَنَا أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَسْأَلَ عُمَرَ
I waited for a year, wanting to ask Umar.
سَنَةً a year
A noun in the object/adverb ending (the '-an' tail) used to measure how long the waiting lasted; it answers 'for how long?'. Arabic marks a stretch-of-time like this with that ending instead of a preposition.

سَنَةً year
The counted noun after a teen number, and the teens take their counted noun in the singular with an object-style ending — 'seventeen year', not 'years'. So the noun stays singular even though the meaning is plural, a number-grammar rule with no English parallel.
