The Comma
الفصلة
The comma is the small-sized wāw that has been written and inverted. It is a sign that indicates a short pause. It is placed between sentences that together form a meaningful statement. And between phrases that resemble connected words in the length of sentences. And between types of something that has been divided, and after the words of address and oath. And between a condition and its response if the condition is long due to the words connected to it.
الفصْلة الوَاوُ التِي قدْ كتِبَتْ ... صَغِيرَةً فِي حَجْمِها وَقلِبَتْ وَهْيَ عَلامَة غَدَتْ مُشِيرَةْ ... إلى الوُقوفِ وَقفة قصِيرَةْ توضَعُ بَيْنَ جُمَلٍ تألفا ... مِنهَا كلامٌ قدْ أفادَ وَكفى وَمُفرَدَاتٍ أشْبَهَتْ بمَا اتصَلْ ... بهَا مِنَ الألفاظِ فِي الطولِ الجُمَلْ وَبينَ أنوَاعٍ لِشيْءٍ انقسَمْ ... وبَعدَ ألفاظِ المُنادَى وَالقسَمْ وَبيْنَ شَرْطٍ وَجَوَابٍ إنْ يَطلْ ... شَرْطٌ بمَا بهِ مِنَ اللفْظِ اتصَلْ
