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) fa-us'lukūhu insert him." | (69:32:6) dhirāʿan cubits, | (69:32:5) sabʿūna (is) seventy | (69:32:4) dharʿuhā its length | (69:32:3) sil'silatin a chain, | (69:32:2) fī into | (69:32:1) thumma Then |
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).
