Examples

“If Isth. 1, 14, τὸ μέν ἅρματι τεθρίππῳ γέρας be construed according to Heyne, as I understand⟳ him, a difficulty is presented; because he deems it an unattributive dative placed between article and noun without attributive.”

“The unattributive quality of God’s name⟳ is not, of course, subject to debate⟳.”

“Formally/functionally and synchronically, we face⟳ here one of the most difficult and intriguing phenomena of syntax, viz. the junction and interdependence of noun and unattributive clause, that is (at least in languages with which I have⟳ a degree of familiarity) resolvable into the dichotomy of adnexal (“nexus-adjoining”) and “conjunctional” roles.”

“Since the hadiths of “the three lies” are not dubious but well-established in the two Ṣaḥīḥs, this might be an example of Bayḍāwī’s use⟳ of the unattributive passive voice in introducing a report⟳ without conveying dubiousness (tamrīḍ)—not as assumed by Munāwī in the Fatḥ (1:142) or per the convention of latter-day hadith scholars, but indifferently, as in al-Tirmidhī’s practice in his Sunan.”
