Sorry for the delay; we're starting up our intensive summer Arabic program,
and the work keeps us up nights! No time to answer mails, except from
teachers and students!

This is a good site for grammar reference, in fact it told me something
about the idafa that I couldn't find anywhere else. I found it once when
attempting to answer a question from a student, and it has proved to be
quite reliable, as it should be, considering the publisher: قلب العروبة
النابض

Let us hope she survives as such. Here is the URL:

This is what it has to say about definiteness and agreement in the false
idafa:

* الصفة المشبهة*: لا تتعرّف بالإضافة، بل تتعرّف بـ
[ألـ<http://www.reefnet.gov.sy/education/kafaf/Adawat/Al.htm>]،
وعليه قولُهم في تنكيرها: [زارنا رجلٌ *حسنُ*
الأخلاق](3)<http://www.reefnet.gov.sy/education/kafaf/Bohoth/Edafah.htm#_ftn3>.
فإذا أُريد تعريفها حُلِّيَت بـ [ألـ] فقيل: [زارنا الرجلُ *الحسنُ* الأخلاق]

A iddafa structure can only be Noun+Noun never Noun+ adj
So the rule to verify on Noun+adj structure are  those relating to Noun/adj
agreement in Arabic.
