وثانيهما المركب الناقص، هو ما ليس كذلك
The second kind is an incomplete compound: an expression that does not amount to a complete utterance.
Iḍāfī (genitive/possessive): “ghulāmu Zaydin,” “Zayd's servant.” It identifies someone but does not state a complete claim.
Tawṣīfī (descriptive): “al-rajul al-ʿālim,” “the learned man.” It modifies or identifies rather than asserts.
Taqyīdī (qualifying): “fī al-dār,” “in the house.” This gives a location relation but, alone, is no complete proposition about a specified subject.
This completes the introductory study of expressions. The next section discusses mafhūm (concepts) and the particular/universal division.
