لا على وجه الاستعارة التحقيقية والاستعارة بالكناية والتجريد
Not by way of explicit metaphor, metaphor by allusion, or abstraction.
This qualification is necessary because all three may involve resemblance. If “sharing a meaning” were treated as sufficient on its own, metaphor and tajrīd would be absorbed into technical simile and the classifications would lose their usefulness.
“Zayd ka-l-asad” explicitly presents both comparison terms, whereas “raʾaytu asadan yarmī” borrows the word “lion” for a human being. The basis in resemblance can be common, but the mode of signification differs.
