1. What is the noun’s function: subject, direct object, or prepositional object?
2. Is the vowel hidden because the final alif cannot bear it, or because a possessive yāʾ requires a fixed preceding vowel?
3. State the appropriate estimated ḍamma, fatḥa or kasra.
Practice: In «رَأَيْتُ غُلَامِي», the noun is the direct object: accusative with estimated fatḥa, not genitive just because a kasra is visible.
