If it is a matter comprehensible through juristic effort, such as clear and hidden meanings, general and specific implications, grammar, and other things.
وَالإِعْرَابِ — and grammar. 'and the case-endings' — the very system of -u, -a, -i endings that signals each word's role. Working out a verse's grammar is itself a tool of interpretation, so it joins the list of things reached by effort.

وَالْإِعْرَابِ — and grammar. 'and the case-endings' — the -u/-a/-i system marking each word's role. Parsing a verse is itself an interpretive tool, so it joins the reachable-by-effort list.
From: Quran Interpretation and Debate →وَإِلَى إِقَامَةِ الْإِعْرَابِ تَارَةً ؛
And sometimes to preserve the grammatical inflection.
الْإِعْرَابِ — the grammatical inflection. A definite noun with al-, the owner term completing the chain 'establishing of the grammatical inflection', so it sits in the 'of'-style (genitive) ending. It names what is being kept straight, the case-endings of speech.
From: Humility Over Fame →OpenArabic teaches words like إِعْرَاب through real bilingual reading with native audio and spaced-repetition practice.
