The reader: "And the possessive construction became common in proper names, like Abd al-Shams and Abu Qahafah
And they assigned a name to some species, like the name of a person in form, which is 'Am
for that one, and 'Urayt for the scorpion, and likewise Thu'alah for the fox
and similarly Barrah for the scorpion, and Fajar a name for the female fox"
.

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
Ibn Malik said in the Alfiyyah:
"And they assigned a name to some species", "they assigned":

The Shaykh : How?
The student: We have not discussed the possessive construction.
Another student: "And the possessive construction became common".

The Shaykh :"And the possessive construction became common"?
The student: Yes.

The Shaykh : Fine.
