This research revealed new grammarians who were mentioned for the first time: Ismail al-Qadi, Ismail al-Zajjaji, a student of Abu Ali al-Farsi, Ibn Talha al-Yabiri, and Ibn al-Badash, whose positions emerged through     the research, and we have explained them in their appropriate places.

      Through the research, more than eighteen grammatical scholars emerged from the thirty-four authors of the footnotes to Sibawayh’s book in commenting and annotating the book. In general, the authors of the footnotes were interpreters of Sibawayh’s sayings, explaining the differences between the versions of the book, and conveying the opinions of others, and it is possible that they had positions on the part. Morphology of the book.

      These footnotes revealed, in addition to what was mentioned above, the opinions of advanced grammarians whose opinions were implied in the footnotes, such as Al-Khalil, Issa bin Omar, Abu Ishaq Al-Ziyadi, and Al-Asma’i, some of which were unattributed, and some of which came from grammar schools, such as the Basrans, the Kufans, and the Baghdadis, and these were mentioned in Limited places, and Dr. Al-Ayouni did not make them among the owners of footnotes when he mentioned the owners of footnotes and translated them in the study section.

       The source of those positions and opinions attributed to these advanced grammarians in the books of grammarians were these footnotes on copies of Sibawayh’s book, and they spread to the east and west of the earth, as they were linked to Sibawayh’s book. The arrival of these footnotes was an investigation and editing of those opinions that were attributed in the books of grammarians, so I corrected those. The footnotes are many of the opinions of previous grammarians.
