إن قلت الوسائط مع خفاء في اللزوم
When links are few but the connection is subtle, the mode is called ramz.
Ramz does not require a long sequence. The short association itself is unfamiliar or requires cultural interpretation. “Broad nape” and “broad pillow” are examples. The decisive feature is subtlety of the link, not merely the number of steps.
Thus ramz cannot be defined simply as a shorter form of talwīḥ.
