Verse (21:81), Word 1 - Quranic Grammar

__

The first word of verse (21:81) is divided into 3 morphological segments. A conjunction, preposition and proper noun. The prefixed conjunction wa is usually translated as "and". The prefixed preposition lām is usually translated as "for". The proper noun is in the genitive case (مجرور). The case marker is a fatḥah instead of a kasrah because the proper noun is a diptote (ممنوع من الصرف). Together the segments form a preposition phrase known as jār wa majrūr (جار ومجرور).

CONJ – prefixed conjunction wa (and)
