Only particles portion taken. The data on particles is very important and the mo
st detailed material on particles is given in Mugnee al Labeeb and this book has
been the most important reference on particles. Lane has considered this the mo
st important reference on particles, but since Lane died while working on Lexico
n, the material on particles in Lane from letter qaaf and onwards is too shallow
or incomplete.
