Ibn Malik (may Allah have mercy on him) limited the issue to four.
"And the measure of the dual and the triple is like theirs"
"Like theirs" means like the measure of the two from the singular to the quadruple. How from the singular? What do we say for the singular? What do we say? Huh?
The student: Singular.

The Shaykh : Singular, okay. And for the triple, what do we say...?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Huh? Singular, singular, yes.
"From the singular to the quadruple, so let them know"
Meaning, do not exceed four, do not exceed the four. And some said: We add up to ten, what is the obstacle? And if it has not been heard, that does not mean it is not valid.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes?
The student: Is the second for emphasis?

The Shaykh : Huh? For emphasis, yes.
The student: ...

The Shaykh : What is in it?
The student: ...

The Shaykh : Yes, that is right.
The student: ...
