LessonsMurāʿāt al-Naẓīr, Corresponding Endings, Irṣād and MushākalahQuiz

القِسِيُّ — السِّهامُ — الأوتارُ
Bows, arrows, and bowstrings.

The poetic example gathers three related matters: a bow, the arrow it propels, and the string belonging to the bow. These terms occupy a coherent semantic domain of archery and its instruments.

Even though the expression uses bal to move from one image to another, the words retain their mutual affinity. Murāʿāt al-naẓīr is therefore not limited to two adjacent words; three or more suitably connected items may form a rhetorical group.
