Tashrīʿ is also a metrical achievement. The verse must admit a sound reading when stopped at the earlier rhyme and remain valid when continued to its later rhyme.
The example in the text relates the two stopping points to different metrical ending forms (*ḍurūb*), showing why the poet’s choice is more demanding than finding two rhyme words.
Both semantics and metre must therefore be considered. Two plausible stopping points in prose alone do not constitute this specifically poetic device.
