I think it was quite a good idea to present the “damiir al-fasl” and the “damiir al-sha’n” together. These pronouns will often appear superfluous to a native speaker of English, but they play an important role in MSA.

I’ve already mentioned the “damiir al-fasl” in a comment on “Techie Talk”, but I haven’t yet said anything about the “damiir al-sha’n”. In this podcast the “damiir al-sha’n” is presented as an emphatic device, but grammarians often use the term “damiir al-sha’n” to denote a kind of “buffer pronoun” – a pronominal suffix (ﻪ which is attached to a subordinating particle (e.g. ﺃﻨﻪ and which functions as a generic buffer between the subordinating particle and the following clause.

Are there two types of “damiir sha’n”, and is “damiir al-sha’n” synonymous with “damiir qissa”?

ممتاز!
