The Correct Statement of the word (rubba) as an Original Preposition which is Related to but not Similar to an Additional Preposition
Main Article Content
Abstract
It is well-known among most grammarians, especially the later ones, that (rubba) is an extra preposition or similar to an extra letter that does not relate to anything after it as other prepositions do. Modern scholars have come to embrace this doctrine and record it in their works and teach it to their students as the most likely and absolutely correct. However, investigation proves otherwise, which I will cite with its evidence and proofs in this research.
