Salam Salim

I have some questions about "Almakan laysa ba'eedan"

1. I know that
Laysa means " not to be" (3rd person singular)
and ba'eedan is "far"

But what does the word "almakan" mean ?

2. We learned that in fus7a almost all verbal sentences begin with the verb, but here that does not seem to be the case. Is there a particular reason for it ?


Thanks in advance

Nadine
