Abstract
The study of morphological texts remains relatively limited when compared to the extensive research conducted on verified manuscripts in the field of linguistics, particularly in grammar and morphology. Despite the fundamental importance of morphology in understanding the structure of Arabic words, scholarly works that address it directly are still few in number. Motivated by a desire to contribute to this underexplored field. This study examines the book Sharḥ al-Kalimāt al-Mushkila fī Kitāb al-Sāmī fī al-Asāmī by al-ʿIjli, which contains a wealth of linguistic and morphological evidence that aids in clarifying and scientifically analyzing obscure words. The research is divided into three main sections, preceded by an introduction and a preliminary overview. The focus of the study lies in analyzing the morphological evidence presented in the text and highlighting its role in linguistic clarification. The researcher hopes that this work will enrich modern morphological studies and encourage further scholarly attention to neglected or insufficiently studied sources in Arabic morphological heritage.
