And Andalis: a known island, its weight is anfa'al, and if this is something for which there is no precedent, it is because the 'nūn' is necessarily extra because there is nothing of five letters on the pattern 'falalil' for the 'nūn' to be original, occurring with the 'ayn'. And if it is established that the 'nūn' is extra, then in Andalis there are three root letters, which are the dāl, lām, and sīn, and at the beginning of the word is a hamza. Whenever this occurs, it is judged that the hamza is extra. The 'nūn' is not original and the hamza is extra because four-letter words do not have additions at their beginnings except in nouns that follow their verbs, like madarjah and its ilk. Therefore, it is necessary that the hamza and the 'nūn' are extra, and the word is on the pattern anfa'al, even if this is an example without parallel.
