مُعَرِّفٌ عَلَى ثَلَاثَةٍ قُسِمْحَدٌّ وَرَسْمِيٌّ وَلَفْظِيٌّ عُلِمْ

فَالْحَدُّ بِالْجِنْسِ وَفَصْلٍ وَقَعَاوَالرَّسْمُ بِالْجِنْسِ وَخَاصَّةٍ مَعَا

وَنَاقِصُ الْحَدِّ بِفَصْلٍ أَوْ مَعَاجِنْسٍ بَعِيدٍ لَا قَرِيبٍ وَقَعَا

The definer is divided into three: real definition, description and verbal definition, as is known. The real definition is made of genus and differentia together, and the description of genus and property together. The incomplete definition is by the differentia alone, or together with a far genus, not a near one.

Google Çeviri ↗s. 23–24

وَنَاقِصُ الرَّسْمِ بِخَاصَّةٍ فَقَطْأَوْ مَعَ جِنْسٍ أَبْعَدٍ قَدِ ارْتَبَطْ

وَمَا بِلَفْظِيٍّ لَدَيْهِمْ شُهِرَاتَبْدِيلُ لَفْظٍ بِرَدِيفٍ أَشْهَرَا

The incomplete description is by the property alone, or joined with a farther genus. What is known among them as verbal is replacing a word by a better-known synonym.

Google Çeviri ↗s. 24

وَشَرْطُ كُلٍّ أَنْ يُرَى مُطَّرِدَامُنْعَكِسًا وَظَاهِرًا لَا أَبْعَدَا

وَلَا مُسَاوِيًا وَلَا تَجَوُّزَابِلَا قَرِينَةٍ بِهَا تُحُرِّزَا

وَلَا بِمَا يُدْرَى بِمَحْدُودٍ وَلَامُشْتَرَكٍ مِنَ الْقَرِينَةِ خَلَا

The condition of each is that it be seen to hold wherever the defined holds and the reverse, clear, not more obscure, nor equal in obscurity, nor figurative without a sign that guards against error, nor by what is known only through the defined, nor equivocal without a sign.

Google Çeviri ↗s. 24

وَعِنْدَهُمْ مِنْ جُمْلَةِ الْمَرْدُودِأَنْ تَدْخُلَ الْأَحْكَامُ فِي الْحُدُودِ

وَلَا يَجُوزُ فِي الْحُدُودِ ذِكْرُ أَوْوَجَائِزٌ فِي الرَّسْمِ فَادْرِ مَا رَوَوْا

Among what they reject is bringing judgements into definitions. In definitions “or” may not be mentioned, but it is allowed in a description — so know what they have handed down.

Ders

A definer is of three kinds: real (ḥadd), description (rasm) and verbal definition (lafẓī). The complete definition joins and , “rational animal”; the complete description joins genus and property, “laughing animal”. The incomplete definition is the differentia alone or with a far genus; the incomplete description is the property alone or with a farther genus. A verbal definition replaces a word with a better-known synonym: “al-ghaḍanfar is the lion”.

Every must hold wherever the defined holds and nowhere else (muṭṭarid, munʿakis); be clearer than the defined, not more obscure or equally obscure; avoid figurative and equivocal words unless a clear sign shows what is meant; and not use anything that can only be known through the defined itself, which would be circular. Two further rules: a definition must not bring in judgements, and the word “or” has no place in a real definition, though it may stand in a description.

Terimler

الْحَدُّ al-ḥadd: real definition: genus and differentia
الرَّسْمُ al-rasm: description: genus and property
اللَّفْظِيُّ al-lafẓī: verbal definition: a better-known synonym
الْمُطَّرِدُ al-muṭṭarid: holding wherever the defined holds
الْمُنْعَكِسُ al-munʿakis: holding only where the defined holds
الدَّوْرُ al-dawr: circularity: defining by what needs the defined

Örnekler

الْغَضَنْفَرُ الْأَسَدُ
a verbal definition: a rarer word by a better-known one
الْحَيَوَانُ النَّاطِقُ
a complete definition of man
