مَوْصُولٌ ذ , in grammar, [A conjunct]. This is of two kinds; مَوْصُولٌ حَرْفِىٌّ and مَوْصُولٌ إِِسْمِىٌّ. The former term [or conjunct particle] is applied to the infinitive particles أَنْ, أَنَّ, كَى, لَوْ, and مَا. The latter term [or conjunct noun] (I have thus rendered it voce أَلْ, and voce إِِنْ, and voce إِِنَّ) is applied to the conjunctive nouns أَلَّذِى, and its fem. اَلَّتِى, and مَنْ, and مَا, and ذُو in the dial. of Teiyi, and to اَلْ, which last some incorrectly hold to be a conjunct particle, and others assert to be a determinative particle and not a conjunct, and to ذَا after the interrogative مَا or مَنْ. (I' Ak, sect. المَوْصُولُ.)
