Example sentence

الاسمُ المُجرَّدُ شرارةٌ بلا نار؛ أمّا الجملةُ المشروعة فنورٌ يسري

A mere name is a spark without fire; but a prescribed sentence is a light that spreads.

فَنُورٌ thus light

'is a light' — 'fa' answers the 'amma' topic and 'nur' is the predicate, nominative indefinite. The 'fa' is required to tie the verdict back to the fronted 'as for the sentence'.
