The Quranic Arabic Corpus - Word by Word Grammar, Syntax and Morphology of the Holy Quran

The third word of verse (5:115) is divided into 2 morphological segments. An accusative particle and object pronoun. The accusative particle belongs to a special group of words known as inna and her sisters (ان واخواتها). The attached object pronoun is first person singular.

"Indeed I

ACC – accusative particle
PRON – 1st person singular object pronoun

The analysis above refers to the 115th verse of chapter 5 (sūrat l-māidah):

Sahih International: Allah said, "Indeed, I will sent it down to you, but whoever disbelieves afterwards from among you - then indeed will I punish him with a punishment by which I have not punished anyone among the worlds."

The ACC part seems to be to act as an emphatic marker 'Indeed I' rather than just 'I'.

Could we label this is EMPH- we could say that 'I' is doubled in this word! Any ideas?

The particle "inna" is also Harf tawkeed as well as Harf naSb, so it is a particle of emphasis as well as accusative particle.

As for the PRON, it should not be called "object" pronoun when it is in fact the "subject" (ism) of "inna". I suggest it should be tagged thus:

PRON - 1st person singular pronoun, subject of "inna". (The tagging in Arabic is correct - "ya" is attached pronoun, accusative, subject of "inna")

Right I see so the it is difficult to seperate the two- so we can't doubly label them. I think that the mentioning of subject of "inna" clears things up.
