The language to Abdul Qahir is not a set of words, but rather a set of relations (System de Rapports). He said: "The single words that are conditions of the language, not placed to know their meanings in themselves, but to link some words to some others, to know the benefits amongst their relation. This is an honorable science and a great origin." The language is not words, but a group of links... Those links are the different meanings that are expressed, hence they have their importance and they are on the top of the words. So if we look at that we know, that the words have no benefit, except that you choose a noun making it a subject or an object of a verb, or you choose two nouns making the one predicate of the other noun, or a noun followed by another one as an adjective or as a statement for the present condition or distinction or using them in a compound sentence to prove a meaning.
