Could the meaning of Ibn Malik's statement, "like a bond with the actual name itself," be "like a bond with the pronoun of the actual name itself"?

The questioner : So... like a bond with the pronoun of the actual name itself?
The Shaykh : No, it is valid with the actual name that precedes it, because the pronoun is the connection between the preceding name and the occupied position. He says: The intended meaning is the pronoun referring back to the preceding name, so the preposition "ba" means "in," and the meaning is that the presence of the pronoun in the dependent of the occupier is like its presence in the occupier itself. Just as you say, "Zayd struck his boy," you say, "Zayd honored a man who loves him." The meaning is now clear: if the pronoun of the thing being referred to is found in a description that the occupier governs, meaning in the description that is the occupier, it is as if it were directly connected to the verb. This is the meaning, and the example clarifies it.
