ABSTRACT

The meaning of the Arabic term ᵓiḑāfah https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315620091/d5f07bf9-fccb-48ca-88bd-ee90d2df29de/content/inline483.tif"/> is addition, annexation, or attachment. This kind of annexation occurs when two nouns (or an adjective and a noun) are linked together and immediately follow each other. It is comparable to a genitive or attributive construction, where the first noun (or adjective) is the main constituent and the second noun is the attribute.
