Why does the textbook not require presence in Mecca in its specific “fi Makka” example?
Particles of Meaning: Aw, Hatta, Ila, Ala, Fi and Ba
- Because naming Mecca always makes the effect conditional on that location
- Because a locative phrase necessarily postpones the effect
- Because a locative phrase does not automatically become a legal condition
- Because “fi Makka” is treated as equivalent to the occurrence of a verbal-noun action
