Taʿqīd Lafẓī (تعقید لفظی) arises when a sentence's ordering and syntactic connections become unnecessarily tangled: readers struggle to decide which adjective belongs to which noun or which clause modifies another.
The textbook illustrates this through a complex poetic arrangement in which related elements are separated and difficult to reconnect. Unusual fronting, postponement, and dispersed sentence parts are central to the fault.
A practical test is whether a competent reader must reconstruct the word order before the apparent sentence yields its intended sense.
