فَلْيَجْتَهِدْ so let him strive

A stack of pieces: a 'so/then' link, an exhortation particle 'let', and a command-style verb in its clipped jussive form. The 'so' answers the earlier 'whoever', so it is the 'then' of the rule, and the 'let' particle turns the verb into a third-person command, 'let him strive', the trimmed ending marking it as governed by that particle.
