The Shaykh : The author said: "
If a hidden pronoun is a preceding noun, a verb has occupied it *** from it by making its word or its position accusative
So the preceding noun is made accusative"
"If a hidden pronoun is a preceding noun, a verb has occupied it" — is this conditional, and is the hidden pronoun a fronted object, as you say, or is it in the nominative case?
The student: With the nominative case.
The Shaykh : "Hidden pronoun," and according to the opinion of the Kufans, the hidden pronoun is a fronted subject for its verb, or a subject and what follows it is its predicate. As for the opinion of the Basrans, they say that the hidden pronoun in "if a hidden pronoun" is the subject of a deleted verb, which is explained by what follows. You have already known the three opinions regarding such a construction: some scholars said that it is necessary to estimate a verb, some said that conditional particles enter upon nouns, and some said that it is permissible to front the subject. "If a hidden pronoun is a preceding noun, a verb has occupied it" "verb" here is the object of "occupied," and "occupied" is now explaining a deleted verb. The estimated meaning is: "If a verb has occupied a preceding noun" "from it by making its word or its position accusative" From what? From this preceding noun, meaning: it occupied it from it. "by making its word or its position accusative" Meaning: whether that occupier occupied it from making the word accusative or from making the position accusative. Making the word accusative is clear, like: "I struck Zayd." You say: "Zayd, I struck him." Now, "Zayd" cannot be the object, and the pronoun is the object; rather, the verb has been occupied. Or the position, like if the one from whom it is occupied is built and not made accusative, then the occupation is from making its position accusative. Good, likewise, the demonstrative noun is built. You say: "This, I struck him." The pronoun is now occupied from making the position accusative or from making the word accusative?
The student: The position.
The Shaykh : For this reason, we say: "Dha" is a built demonstrative noun, built on sukun in the position of accusative.
