The Technical Terms \Ḫiffa\ and \Ṯiqal\ in the Usage of the Arabic Grammarians
Two Arabic grammatical terms, hiffa & its antonym tiqal, & other words derived from the same roots are among the many technical terms used by ancient Arab grammarians without explicit explanations of their meanings, which are now obscure although evidently assumed by the ancient writers to be known to their readers. To clarify the cited terms, definitions in classical dictionaries & examples of usage from ancient Arab grammars are analyzed in chronological order; results are argued to show that derivatives of the two roots, hff & tql, are used in two complementary semantic fields: (1) to indicate ease (hff) vs difficulty (tql) in the physical production of a sound or the pronunciation of a word, & (2) to signal perceptual & cognitive simplicity or primariness (hff) vs complexity or derivativeness (tql) at the level of grammar.
