DescriptionThis manuscript is a seminal text in ʻIlm al-naḥw (Arabic grammar), offering a comprehensive analysis of ʻIlm al-iʻrāb (desinential inflection). It details the various states of the Arabic word, including al-jāzim and al-majzūm, al-manṣūb (the accusative), and other fundamental grammatical rules governing case endings, mood markers, and syntactically conditioned changes to word finals. For researchers, this work serves as an authoritative reference for understanding how desinential inflection encodes grammatical relations within Arabic sentences. Its systematic treatment of nominal declension and verbal apocopation reveals the logical precision underlying iʻrāb, demonstrating how final vowel and consonant changes signal functional roles such as subject, object, or conditional verb.
