The author gives an important limitation: idghām is not simply applied to every n followed by yāʾ or wāw in the same word. In the four named words دُنْيَا، قِنْوَان، بُنْيَان، صِنْوَان, the n is read distinctly—iẓhār, not idghām.
Memorize these four source examples. The next letter alone is not sufficient when the source specifies a one-word exception.
