The specification relation tamyīz (تمييز) places a dependent noun into the accusative case manṣūb (منصوب) and is used to specify the degree of the head word. An example of tamyīz may be found in verse (69:32):

(69:32:7) insert him." fa-us'lukūhu

(69:32:6) cubits, dhirāʿan

(69:32:5) (is) seventy sabʿūna

(69:32:4) its length dharʿuhā

(69:32:3) a chain, sil'silatin

(69:32:2) into fī

(69:32:1) Then thumma

Fig 1. Specification relation in verse (69:32).

In the above example there is a specification dependency between words (69:32:5) and (69:32:6).
