Very important rule #4: The word that comes after a connector (such as "and" or "or") must

be a borrower from something previously mentioned. It cannot be anything but a borrower.

For instance, it cannot be a doer or receiver or owner.

However, the word that is connected via a connector is not the only type of borrower. There
is another type of borrower, one that does not require a connector. This type of borrower
describes the word it is borrowing from. In English it always comes before the word it is
borrowing from, while in Arabic it always comes after.

Ahmad ate the sandwich.

Taha found the book and the pen.

Zaynab drank the cold milk and the water.

As you can see, both "cold" and "water" are borrowers from "milk", but "water" is a different
type of borrower from "cold". How so? "Water" is connected to the word it is borrowing
from ("milk") via a connector, whereas "cold" is not.

So, now we have seen two types of borrowers:

1. Those that borrow via a connector

2. Those that borrow without a connector

We will call the first type "connected borrowers" and the second "describing borrowers".
The reason is that the latter type describes the word it is borrowing from, whereas the
former type is connected to the word it is borrowing from via a connector.
