Reading from Ibn Aqil’s commentary (may Allah have mercy on him), with the Shaykh’s annotations: " .

The reader: " Do not incline what has not attained stability *** except by hearing, other than 'ha' and 'na'
Inclination is a characteristic of stable names, so a non-stable name is not inclined except by hearing, except for 'ha' and 'na', for they are inclined by consistent analogy, such as 'he wants' .
The Shaykh : Do you think that 'tala' is in the state of 'ha'?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : It is conjoined to 'amadan', okay. The alif before it is an inclined alif in 'amadan', and the second is what it is conjoined to. That is why he says: " like the inclination of the second alif in something like 'amadan' , which is after the dal, due to the proximity of the inclined alif before it, which is after the mim. And like the inclination of the alif in 'tala' as well. 'Tala' is a verb, and the apparent meaning of his words is that it is not inclined according to the rules, but is inclined due to proximity where it is conjoined to a preceding inclined alif.
The student : Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Yes.
The student: ...
The Shaykh : I do not know, I have not paid attention to all of these because they are according to their names ... yes, and the poet says:
" And rarely have your eyes seen one with a title *** except that its meaning, if you think about its title, yes, let us read, if Allah wills, what remains is only two verses.
The reader: " Inclination is a characteristic of stable names, so a non-stable name is not inclined except by hearing, except for 'ha' and 'na', for they are inclined by consistent analogy, such as 'he wants to strike her' and 'we passed by us'.
And the opening before the kasr of the ra' at the end *** incline it" .
The Shaykh : What are the stable names?
The student: The declinable ones.
The Shaykh : They are the declinable names, so all the indeclinable names are not inclined except for two names only, which are: 'ha' and 'na'. 'Ha' is the pronoun for the feminine, and 'na' is the pronoun for the first person plural, which includes oneself and others, yes.
