وَأَشَارَ بِقَوْلِهِ: «وَالْزَمْ بِنَا النَّوْعَيْنِ» إِلَى أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ الْأَفْعَالِ وَأَسْمَاءَ الْأَصْوَاتِ كُلَّهَا مَبْنِيَّةٌ،

By saying, 'Stick to these two types with us,' he indicates that both verbal nouns and onomatopoeic nouns are indeclinable.

وَقَدْ سَبَقَ فِي بَابِ الْمُعْرَبِ وَالْمَبْنِيِّ أَنَّ أَسْمَاءَ الْأَفْعَالِ مَبْنِيَّةٌ لِشَبَهِهَا بِالْحَرْفِ فِي النِّيَابَةِ عَنِ الْفِعْلِ وَعَدَمِ التَّأَثُّرِ،

It was previously established in the chapter on inflection and indeclinability that verbal nouns are indeclinable because they resemble particles in their ability to function as verbs while remaining unaffected by grammatical governors.

حَيْثُ قَالَ: «وَكَالنِّيَابَةِ عَنِ الْفِعْلِ بِلَا تَأَثُّرٍ»، وَأَمَّا أَسْمَاءُ الْأَصْوَاتِ فَهِيَ مَبْنِيَّةٌ لِشَبَهِهَا بِأَسْمَاءِ الْأَفْعَالِ.

He stated, 'Like substituting for a verb without being affected.' Onomatopoeic nouns are likewise indeclinable due to their resemblance to verbal nouns.
