Incomplete jinās occurs when the paired expressions resemble one another without satisfying all four requirements of complete jinās.
The divergence may concern:
1. Vowel states or letter shapes in pronunciation.
2. The number of letters.
3. The identity of a letter.
4. The order of letters.
These are distinct diagnostic classes. A small difference prevents the figure from being complete, but need not eliminate paronomasia altogether.
