LessonsSupplementary Practice 10: Rhetoric of Claim, Evidence, Objection and ReplyQuiz

لَكِنَّ بَعْضَ الْعِبَارَاتِ مُخْتَلِفٌ.
But some passages are worded differently.

“Lākinna” introduces a corrective qualification or objection to what preceded it. “Baʿḍa” restricts the objection to some expressions rather than all of them. The objection may challenge an overbroad reading of the earlier claim, but it does not automatically disprove the agreement of the figures.

Syntactically, “baʿḍa” is the accusative subject of “lākinna,” “al-ʿibārāti” its genitive complement, and “mukhtalifun” the nominative predicate. A difference in wording is not necessarily a difference in factual result. The next response must address that precise distinction rather than a different issue.
