The particle is used to indicate cause and makes the following verb subjunctive. The imperfect verb (فعل مضارع) is second person dual and is in the subjunctive mood (منصوب). The verb's triliteral root is kāf wāw nūn (ك و ن). The verb (كان) belongs to a special group of words known as kāna and her sisters (كان واخواتها). The suffix (الألف) is an attached subject pronoun.
