Description This concise manual addresses Arabic nouns and verbs and is designed to enhance students’ linguistic proficiency and mastery of eloquent Arabic. It systematically categorizes noun types according to definiteness, gender, number, and case marking, alongside verb classifications according to tense, mood, and root structure. The text presents paradigms and usage examples to support the accurate construction of phrases and sentences. For researchers, this manual serves as a pedagogical tool that bridges basic morphology and applied eloquence (balāghah). Its focus on noun-verb interplay reveals how classical Arabic grammatical instruction prioritized functional competence in both comprehension and composition for learners advancing toward rhetorical excellence.
