Verse (2:137), Word 11 - Quranic Grammar

__

The eleventh word of verse (2:137) is divided into 3 morphological segments. A result particle, accusative particle and preventive particle. The result particle fa is usually translated as "then" or "so" and is used to indicate the result of a condition. The accusative particle belongs to a special group of words known as inna and her sisters (ان واخواتها). The preventive particle stops inna from taking its normal role in the sentence. Together the segments are known as kāfa wa makfūfa (كافة ومكفوفة).

RSLT – prefixed result particle
ACC – accusative particle
PREV – preventive particle
