«و«إما» و«أو» في الانفصال»
The particles immā and aw are used in disjunctive propositions.

Immā … aw commonly expresses alternatives. Yet its presence alone cannot establish whether the disjunction is genuine, excludes joint truth, or excludes joint falsehood. That classification requires testing the joint truth and falsity of its components.

Without an additional quantity marker, the disjunctive particles do not by themselves assert universality. A disjunctive particle and a logical quantifier perform different functions.
