طويل نجاده
His sword strap is long.
The long strap points readily to the owner’s height. The link is familiar and the inference short, so it is a near and clear kināyah.
The source further distinguishes a purely indirect expression from one in which the construction carries a degree of explicit predication. The distinction concerns the attribution in the expression, not simply the occurrence of a noun.
