الكناية تتفاوت إلى تعريض وتلويح ورمز وإيماء وإشارة
Kināyah varies in the forms of indirect allusion, distant hinting, coded indication, intimation, and pointing.
The verb tatafāwat (“varies”) is significant. These descriptions can overlap: an utterance may have a short inferential chain yet also indirectly aim at someone other than the person addressed. Tanqasim (“is divided”) could imply mutually exclusive classes.
This is a spectrum of rhetorical features, not one rigid partition.
