فَـ«لِجَامٌ» مُنْصَرِفٌ؛ لِعَدَمِ الْعَلَمِيَّةِ فِي الْعُجْمَةِ، وَ«نُوحٌ» مُنْصَرِفٌ؛ لِسُكُونِ الْأَوْسَطِ.
Translation: Thus lijām is fully declinable, for it was not a proper name in its foreign source language; and Nūḥ is fully declinable, because its middle letter has sukūn.
The examples illustrate two different ways the stated conditions can fail. Foreign origin alone does not determine the case pattern.
