The book calls ʿAbd Allāh fully declinable, yet «عَبْدُ» has no tanwīn. There is no contradiction.

Rule: Being a muḍāf blocks tanwīn even if the noun is fundamentally triptote. Standalone «عَبْدٌ» may take tanwīn; in «عَبْدُ اللَّهِ» it cannot.

Absence of tanwīn alone does not prove a noun is diptote.
