That is an excellent idea. Would it possible for you or any other student to produce one and I can oversee it and make necessary corrections. The following book is a good starting point :
There is a condition for a sifah to contain the reason of wasfiyyah aslan, and that is that the feminine form is NOT made by adding a ta marboota. If it is made by adding a ta marboota (حسنة), then it does not fulfill the condition.
Yes it can. The reason why scholars dont mention it as a sign of an Ism is because it has been included as one of the outward signs of femininity of the Ism, the other 2 being the Alif Maqsoorah and Alif Mamdoodah.
It's a harf which we will discuss later on in HN05
Tanween al Iwad is a tanween that stands in place of either a letter, word or sentence.
Tanween al muqaabalah is the tanween that the sound feminine plural has because of it being unable to receive a noon like the sound masculine plural.

If you have read both you will notice that Al Ajrumiya is substantially shorter and might mention a concept in a few words or one sentence where the Hidayah expounds over the same concept in a page or two. Everything covered in Al Ajrumiyah is covered in the Hidayah plus alot more. A person who has studied the Hidayah will find al aljrumiya an easy read but not vice versa.
Other than the size, the only substantial difference between them is the schools that both authors came from. The author of the Ajrumiyah was from the Kufa school while the author of the Hidayah is from the school of Basra. There are glimpses of this in the terminology that each author uses.
Maybe you can take a copy of the ajrumiya in Arabic and try reading it and comparing it yourself to the Hidayah.

Yes this I'raab is possible. كلمة is the first khabar and كلمة تدل على معنى في نفسها is the second khabar.
let me clarify this:
If a word is on a pattern of the verb ( that is specific to it), then it needs another reason for it to be ghayr munsarif.
أحمد has 2 reasons ( pattern of verb and Al Allamiyah)
أحمر has 2 reasons ( pattern of verb and Al wasfiya
If a word is on a pattern of the verb ( that is specific to it), then it needs another reason for it to be ghayr munsarif.
أحمد has 2 reasons ( pattern of verb and Al Allamiyah)
أحمر has 2 reasons ( pattern of verb and Al wasfiya
Yes these are the only strong reasons that cause a word to be ghayr munsarif regardless if any other reason is present.
Yes, this was a mistake on my part. the jaar state has an estimation of a fatha.
