Most transitive verbs take the objective complement in the accusative, though a considerable number of them are connected with the object by means of a preposition. Not a few are construed in both ways with a variety of signification, and different prepositions may sometimes be joined to the same verb with a difference of meaning; e. g. -L&5, he called him; jdo sJ L&5, he prayed that he might receive something as a blessing; xlLe Lc5, he cursed him.

The former are distinguished as LMdijU Xjcjl ji J lis ill, the verbs that pass on (to an object) through themselves (and not by help of a preposition), and the latter as Kjjjia+ji JLail, the verbs that pass on (to an object) through something else than themselves (viz. la t-jlai, through a preposition).
