تَأَمَّلِ الشَّكْلَ.

Examine the figure.

تُعْرَبُ كِلَا وَكِلْتَا بِحَرَكَاتٍ مُقَدَّرَةٍ عَلَى الْأَلِفِ إِذَا أُضِيفَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمَا إِلَى اسْمٍ ظَاهِرٍ كِلَا الْمِثَالَيْنِ يَحْمِلُ أَدَوَاتٍ وَاحِدَةً إِعْرَابَ الْمُثَنَّى (بِالْأَلِفِ رَفْعًا) وَ(بِالْيَاءِ نَصْبًا وَجَرًّا) إِذَا أُضِيفَ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمَا إِلَى ضَمِيرٍ الْمَقَالَانِ كِلَاهُمَا يَحْمِلُ أَدَوَاتٍ وَاحِدَةً اسْتَنْتِجْ الْمُلْحَقُ بِالْمُثَنَّى كَلِمَاتٌ تَدُلُّ عَلَى الْمُثَنَّى إِلَّا أَنَّهُ لَا وَاحِدَ لَهَا مِنْ لَفْظِهَا وَيُعْرَبُ إِعْرَابَ الْمُثَنَّى بِالْأَلِفِ رَفْعًا وَبِالْيَاءِ نَصْبًا وَجَرًّا.

Both 'kila' and 'kilta' are declined with vowels implied on the alif if they are annexed to a noun. Both examples carry the same tools, following the declension of the dual (with alif in the nominative case, and with ya in the accusative and genitive cases) if they are annexed to a pronoun. The two articles both carry the same tools. Conclude: Words appended to the dual are words that indicate the dual, but they have no singular form derived from their own root. They are declined like the dual: with an alif in the nominative case, and with a ya in the accusative and genitive cases.

هَذِهِ الْكَلِمَاتُ هِيَ (اثْنَانِ – اثْنَتَانِ)، وَ(كِلَا وَكِلْتَا) إِذَا أُضِيفَتَا إِلَى ضَمِيرٍ، أَمَّا إِذَا أُضِيفَتْ كُلٌّ مِنْهُمَا إِلَى اسْمٍ ظَاهِرٍ فَتُعْرَبُ بِحَرَكَاتٍ مُقَدَّرَةٍ عَلَى الْأَلِفِ.

These words are (ithnan - ithnatan), and (kila and kilta) when annexed to a pronoun. However, if each of them is annexed to a noun, they are declined with vowels implied on the alif.
