Verse (4:109)

The analysis above refers to the 109th verse of chapter 4 (sūrat l-nisāa):

Sahih International: Here you are - those who argue on their behalf in [this] worldly life - but who will argue with Allah for them on the Day of Resurrection, or who will [then] be their representative?

Correction (not suggested by me): Demonstrative pronoun?

Actually, the second word of verse (4:109) here is divided into 2 morphological segments: A tanbeeh particle and a demonstrative pronoun. The same tanbeeh particle is also in the previous word (4:109:1). It performs a different function from the vocative. Unfortunately, this particle is not listed in the Part-of-Speech Tagset. Another tanbeeh particle is (2:12:1). Perhaps the tanbeeh particle can be called the Attention Particle -- ATT.
