In semantic taʿqid, the sentence's syntax can be reasonably clear, yet reaching the intended meaning depends on an unnecessarily remote chain of inference.
Majaz transfers expression from its primary sense to a related figurative sense. Kinaya allows the listener to infer a linked attribute or intention. Both can function eloquently when the connection is accessible.
The defect arises when several unlikely or hidden intermediate implications must be supplied. It would therefore be wrong to classify every metaphor or allusion as taʿqid.
