TadhyīlA clause after an earlier clauseConfirms or encompasses its meaning
Takmīl / iḥtirāsWording that blocks a likely misreadingRemoves a contrary inference
TatmīmA meaningful supplementary constituentAdds value without correcting a misreading
To apply these distinctions, first establish the context and then consider what would happen if the additional wording were removed. A reinforcing clause suggests tadhyīl; prevention of misreading suggests takmīl; beneficial enrichment without that risk suggests tatmīm.
