Is Ibn Malik’s statement that “wa kafā” is included in the sentence, or is it merely a completion of the verse?

The Shaykh : The author says: “The static singular is empty”.
The student: Shaykh, and what about “kafā”?
The Shaykh : No, “kafā” is a completion of the verse, yes, a completion of the verse. “Kafā” has no part in the sentence. “Allah is sufficient for me” ends the sentence. “Kafā” means: and He is sufficient. Whoever relies upon Allah, He is sufficient for him.
