جَاءَنِي مُوسَىٰ
Translation: Mūsā came to me.
جَاءَنِي: past verb with the first-person object suffix, “to me.”
مُوسَىٰ: subject, nominative, with an estimated ḍamma.
Why is the ḍamma not visible?
Because the word ends in alif maqṣūra; a case vowel cannot be expressed on it. Traditional grammar calls this taʿadhdhur (impossibility).
