هٰذَا بَاْبُ الْمُسْنَدِ وَالْمُسْنَدِ إِلَيْهِ

هٰذَا بَاْبُ الْمُسْنَدِ وَالْمُسْنَدِ إِلَيْهِ 1٧٢٢٦٠ this is the topic of what is linked and that to which it is linked
وَهُمَا مَا لَا يَسْتَغْنِي وَاْحِدٌ مِنْهُمَا عَنِ الْآخَرِ 2٧٧٣١٤ and the two of them are what one of the two does not suffice without the other
وَلَا يَجِدُ الْمُتَكَلِّمُ مِنْهُ بُدًّا 3٨٤٧٤٦ and the speaker finds no avoidance of it
فَمِنْ ذٰلِكَ الِاسْمُ الْمُبْتَدَأُ وَالْمَبْنِىُّ عَلَيْهِ 4٧٠٨٣٠ well from that is the initiated substantive and what is constructed on it
وَهُوَ قَوْلُكَ عَبْدُ اللهِ أَخُوْكَ وَهٰذَا أَخُوْكَ 5٠٩٩٩٧ and it is your saying ʕabd ـll²āh Ɂaxẘ-ka
«Abdullah is your brother»
and hāðă Ɂaxẘ-ka
«This is your brother»
وَمِثْلُ ذٰلِكَ يَذْهَبُ عَبْدُ اللهِ 6٨١٦٣٧ and like that is yaðhab ʕabd ـll²āh
«Abdullah goes/will go»
فَلَا بُدَّ لِلْفِعْلِ مِنَ الِاسْمِ 7٠١٩١٦ for there is no avoidance, for the action, of the substantive
كَمَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لِلِاسْمِ الْأَوَّلِ بُدٌّ مِنَ الْآخَرِ في الْاِبْتِدَاءِ 8٨٩٢٣٠ as there is no avoidance for the first substantive of the other, in initiation
وَمِمَّا يَكُوْنُ بِمَنْزِلَةِ الْاِبْتِدَاءِ قَوْلُكَ 9٤٩٨٤١ and among what has the disposition of initiation is your saying
كَاْنَ عَبْدُ اللهِ مُنْطَلِقًا 10٧٩٨٩٥ kāna ʕabd ـll²āh munṭaliqᵃⁿ
«Abdullah was departing»
«It was Abdullah departing»
وَلَيْتَ زَيْدًا مُنْطَلِقٌ 11٥٥٢٣٥ and layta zaydᵃⁿ munṭaliqᵘⁿ
«Would that Zady were departing!»
«Would that Zady were [the one] departing!»
لِأَنَّ هٰذَا يَحْتَاْجُ إِلَى مَا بَعْدَهُ 12٠٨٥٠٧ since this needs what is after it
كَاحْتِيَاْجِ الْمُبْتَدَأِ إِلَى مَا بَعْدَهُ 13٦٩٢١٧ like the need of the initiated for what is after it
وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الِاسْمَ أَوَّلُ أَحْوَاْلِهِ الْاِبْتِدَاْءُ 14٦٦٩٩٦ and know that the substantive, the first of its circumstances is initiation
وَإِنَّمَا يَدْخُلُ النَّاْصِبُ وَالرَّاْفِعُ سِوَى الِابْتِدَاْءِ وَالْجَاْرُّ عَلَى الْمُبْتَدَأِ 15٠١٣٨٣ yet in fact the raising term and the foregrounding term (except in initiation), and the retracting term, enter upon the initiated
أَلَا تَرَى أَنَّ مَا كَاْنَ مُبْتَدَأً 16٦٥٥٣٦ surely you see that what was initiated
قَدْ تَدْخُلُ عَلَيْهِ هٰذِهِ الْأَشْيَاْءُ 17٣٥٩٧٤ these things may enter upon it
حَتَّى يَكُوْنَ غَيْرَ مُبْتَدَأٍ 18٠٨٦٢٠ so that it be other than initiated
وَلَا تَصِلُ إِلَى الِابْتِدَاْءِ 19٤٢٣٣٦ and you do not join to initiation
مَا دَاْمَ مَعَ مَا ذَكَرْتُ لَكَ 20٧٩٦٤٨ so long as with what I mentioned to you
إِلَّا أَنْ تَدَعَهُ 21٥٤٩٢٢ except that you leave it
وَذٰلِكَ أَنَّكَ إِذَا قُلْتَ عَبْدُ اللهِ مُنْطَلِقٌ 22٣٠٩٦١ and that is that you, if you say ʕabd ـll²āh munṭaliqᵘⁿ
«Abdullah is departing»
إِنْ شِئْتَ أَدْخَلْتَ رَأَيْتُ عَلَيْهِ 23٠٤٨٤٤ if you you will, you introduce raɁaytu
I regarded
upon it
فَقُلْتَ رَأَيْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ مُنْطَلِقًا 24٣٣٤٦٣ so you say raɁaẙ-tu ʕabd ـll²āh munṭaliqᵃⁿ
«I saw Abdallah departing»
«I regarded Abdallah [as] departing»
أَوْ قُلْتَ كَاْنَ عَبْدُ اللهِ مُنْطَلِقًا 25٨٩٧١٤ or you say kāna ʕabd ـll²āh munṭaliqᵃⁿ
«Abdullah was departing»
«It was Abdullah that was departing»
أَوْ مَرَرْتُ بِعَبْدِ اللهِ مُنْطَلِقًا 26٥٦٥٢٧ or marar-tu bi-ʕabd ـll²āh munṭaliqᵃⁿ
«I passed by Abdullah departing»
«I passed by Abdullah [as he was] departing»
فَالْمُبْتَدَأُ أَوَّلُ 27٦٦٩٨٣ so what is initiated is first
كَمَا كَاْنَ الْوَاْحِدُ أَوَّلُ الْعَدَدِ 28٩٣١٠٩ as one is the first of number
وَالنَّكِرَةُ قَبْلَ الْمَعْرِفَةِ 29٢٧٩١٦ and what is unrecognized is before what is recognized
