[The term صِلَةٌ is also applied in the Mṣb, art. أذن, to لَهُ in the phrase مَأْذُونٌ لَهُ.] Often applied to the connective prep. by which a verb or act. part. n. is transitive, together with the noun or pronoun governed by it; as to لَهُ in أَذَنَ لَهُ: and that prep. alone is called حَرْفُ الصِّلَةِ. Also, to a prep. by which a pass. verb or part. n. is connected with its subject, together with that subject; as لَهُ in أُذِنَ لَهُ. In this case it is an inf. n. in the sense of a pass. part. n., namely, of مَوْصُولٌ. (IbrD.)

The former term [or conjunct particle] is applied to the infinitive particles أَنْ, أَنَّ, كَى, لَوْ, and مَا. The latter term [or conjunct noun] (I have thus rendered it voce أَلْ, and voce إِنْ, and voce إِنَّ) is applied to the conjunctive nouns أَلَّذِى, and its fem. اَلَّتِى, and مَنْ, and مَا, and ذُو in the dial. of Teiyi, and to اَلْ, which last some incorrectly hold to be a conjunct particle, and others assert to be a determinative particle and not a conjunct, and to ذَا after the interrogative مَا or مَنْ.
