 Hypotheticals comprise two main sub-types, depending on whether the component sentences are in connection (ittiṣāl) or in conflict (ʿinād). In the first case, the connection is analyzed in terms of a relation of following (ittibāʿ) between an antecedent (muqaddam) and a consequent  (tālin).[5]  In the second case, conflict is expressed in terms of a disjunction of propositions (or parts, ağzāʾ).
