Discussion of what was previously taken from the last chapter on *kana* and its sisters.

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The student: I mean, like, "hedgehogs, *hidajun* around their houses"

The Shaykh : And what does "house" mean?
The student: I mean, if the noun comes after *kana*, there is a pronoun of the matter in *kana*.

The Shaykh : If the object of the predicate is neither an adverb of time or place nor a preposition with its noun, and we see it following *kana*
The student: Then we intend the pronoun of the matter in it.

The Shaykh : The pronoun of the matter.
The student: Like, "Your food, Zayd is eating it."

The Shaykh : "Your food, Zayd is an eater of it."
The student: We intend that *kana* is the pronoun of the matter.

The Shaykh : Now, if we intend the pronoun of the matter, if we intend the pronoun of the matter in other than the example I mentioned, the one I mentioned, it is not possible to intend the pronoun of the matter in it, because the predicate is a described noun. This is not conceivable unless the predicate is a sentence, like the house he mentioned.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, yes, read it.
The student: "Hedgehogs, *hidajun* around their houses *** By what was given to them, a return of wood"

The Shaykh : Yes, where is the object of the predicate?
The student: *Iyyahum* (them).

The Shaykh : Now, is there a *kana* or not?
The student: There is a *kana*, *kana iyyahum*, so we place the pronoun of the matter between it and *kana*.

The Shaykh : the implied meaning is
The student: By what was he given, meaning by what was he

The Shaykh : *Iyyahum* (them).
The student: *Iyyahum* (them).

The Shaykh : Given a return of wood.
The student: Given a return of wood, their return.

The Shaykh : Now, is there another interpretation?
