Inclining the feminine hāʾ on pause
مفإمالة هاء التأنيث
imālat hāʾ al-taʾnīth
When al-Kisāʾī pauses on a word ending in the feminine tāʾ marbūṭah, he inclines it — but not everywhere. The uṣūl chapter divides the letter that comes before the hāʾ three ways, not two: after fifteen letters (gathered as فَجَثَتْ زَيْنَبٌ لِذَوْدِ شَمْسٍ) he always inclines; after nine (خُصَّ ضَغْطٍ قَظْ حِعْ) he never does; and after four more — أ ك ه ر — it depends, inclining only when a vowelless yāʾ or a kasrah precedes them, whether attached or separated by one vowelless letter. The rule has its own chapter because it applies only at a pause.
How it sounds
The Shāṭibiyyah states the exception as غَيْرَ عَشْرٍ, "other than ten", and gathers the letters as حَقٌّ ضِغَاطُ عَصٍ خَظَا. The uṣūl chapter's mnemonic خُصَّ ضَغْطٍ قَظْ حِعْ encodes the same consonants but counts nine; the two presentations have not been reconciled here, and the arithmetic is worth checking against a commentary.
Example
بَعُوضَةً
al-Baqarah 2:26
The ḍād is one of the letters after which he does not incline, so he reads it open here — though both open and inclined are transmitted for it.
