- وإِنَّمَا صَارَتِ التَّاءُ والوَاوُ والنُّونُ لِتَثْلِيثِ أَدْنَى العَدَدِ إِلَى تَعْشِيرِهِ وهُوَ الوَاحِدُ، كَمَا صَارَتِ الأَلِفُ والنُّونُ لِلتَّثْنِيَةِ، ومُثَنَّاهُ أَقَلُّ مِنْ مُثَلَّثِهِ. أَلَا تَرَى أَنَّ جَرَّ التَّاءِ ونَصْبَهَا سَوَاءٌ، وجَرَّ الِاثْنَيْنِ والثَّلَاثَةِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ عَلَى حَدِّ التَّثْنِيَةِ ونَصْبَهُمْ سَوَاءٌ. فهَذَا يُقَرِّبُ أَنَّ التَّاءَ والوَاوَ والنُّونَ لِأَدْنَى العَدَدِ؛ لِأَنَّهُ وَافَقَ المُثَنَّى
