Why does nominative «قَيَّارٌ» in the poem need grammatical explanation?
Conditions of the Predicate: Ellipsis, Reconstruction and Expression
- Because inna governs an accusative-position noun, but Qiyār is nominative
- Because Qiyār is itself the nominative predicate of inna
- Because every noun before the emphatic lām must be accusative
- Because coordinating a nominative after wāw is always licit
