فَثَلَاثَةٌ يُكْتَفَى فِيهَا بِعِلَّةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ: «صِيغَةُ مُنْتَهَى الْجُمُوعِ، وَأَلِفُ التَّأْنِيثِ الْمَقْصُورَةِ، وَأَلِفُ التَّأْنِيثِ الْمَمْدُودَةِ».

Three categories require only a single cause: the ultimate plural pattern, the shortened feminine alif, and the extended feminine alif.

ثَلَاثٌ لَا بُدَّ فِيهَا مِنْ عَلَمِيَّةٍ وَعِلَّةٍ أُخْرَى وَالْوَصْفِيَّةُ لَا تُؤَثِّرُ: «التَّأْنِيثُ اللَّفْظِيُّ أَوِ الْمَعْنَوِيُّ، الْعُجْمَةُ، التَّرْكِيبُ الْمَزْجِيُّ».

Three categories require a proper noun status combined with another cause, where adjectival status is irrelevant: verbal or semantic feminization, foreign origin, and compound blending.

وَالَّذِي يَكُونُ فِيهِ عَلَمِيَّةٌ سِتٌّ وَوَصْفِيَّةٌ مَعَ عِلَّةٍ أُخْرَى ثَلَاثَةُ أَشْيَاءَ: «وَزْنُ الْفِعْلِ، الْعَدْلُ، زِيَادَةُ الْأَلِفِ وَالنُّونِ».

There are six instances involving proper noun status, and three involving adjectival status combined with another cause: verbal patterning, inflectional variation, and the addition of the alif and nun.
