The last lesson's words join the front of a word. This lesson's join its end. They are pronouns, the words for "they", "you", "he", "we", "I" and "she", and the Qur’ān writes them as part of the word before them.

Two of them, "they" and "you" for more than one, are among the five commonest parts of the Qur’ān's words, and "he" is among the ten commonest. With the last lesson's words, they are much of what holds a sentence together.

The corpus names each pronoun by three things: its person (the speaker, the one spoken to, or someone else), its gender and its number, in that order. "3MP" is third person, masculine, plural: "they", "them", "their". The table shows the ways the Qur’ān writes each one: a pronoun can take one shape when it is the one who does a verb's action, and another when the action is done to it or when it follows a noun.

Joined to a verb

A pronoun joined to a verb can be the one who does the action, or the one it is done to.

أَعْطَيْنَـٰكَ
Ses parties
  1. أَعْطَيْ
  2. نَٰwe (as the doer of a verb); us, our
  3. كَyou, your (one man)
Coran 108:1

This one word has three parts: a verb, aʿṭā, then nā, "we", the ones who give, and then ka, "you", the one given to. In Arabic a whole sentence can be one written word.

ٱهْدِنَا
Ses parties
  1. ٱهْدِ
  2. نَاwe (as the doer of a verb); us, our
Coran 1:6

Here nā is joined to a verb in the imperative, the form that tells or asks someone to do something, and it is the one the action is done to: "us".

Joined to a small word

A pronoun can also join the small words of the next lesson, the words for "in", "on" and "to".

فِيهِ
Ses parties
  1. فِيin, about
  2. هِhim, his; it, its
Coran 2:2

Fīhi is fī, "in", and hi, "it": "in it". The corpus calls this pronoun third person, masculine, singular, the same pronoun as "his" and "him".

عَلَيْهِمْ
Ses parties
  1. عَلَيْon, upon, over, against
  2. هِمْthey (as the doer of a verb); them, their
Coran 1:7

ʿAlayhim is ʿalā, "on", and him, "them". This pronoun is written hum or him by the sound before it; both are the same pronoun.

Joined to a noun

Joined to a noun, a pronoun says whose it is: "his", "our", "my".
