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

The broader category of non-declarative expression includes commands, prohibitions, questions, wishes, and related acts. Belonging to that category does not make all instances identical in meaning: agreement in type and relevance of purpose are distinct tests.
