The word, "in" ({{ia|إن}}) with no stress on "n" ({{ia|ن}}) is a short form of "inna" ({{ia|إنّ}}), which is a preposition for emphasis. "Yazliqūnak" ({{ia|یزلقونك}}) is from the Arabic root, "z-l-q" ({{ia|ز-ل-ق}}) which means slipping or tripping. "izlāq" ({{ia|أزلاق}})—literally, to make someone slip or trip—is a metaphor for striking or killing someone. | The word, "in" ({{ia|إن}}) with no stress on "n" ({{ia|ن}}) is a short form of "inna" ({{ia|إنّ}}), which is a preposition for emphasis.
