LessonsWaṣl: Agreement of Form and Function, and the Unifying RelationQuiz

Common functionThree possible form pairs
Report + report in senseDirective/directive, report/directive, directive/report
Directive + directive in senseReport/report, report/directive, directive/report

This yields 2 fully matched + 6 functionally matched = 8 conceptual patterns. Each still requires a suitable semantic relation for effective coordination.
