[note from dil: see p. 224-227 of Ryding's reference grammar]

      The Wehr dictionary defines  /al-lughah  al-umm/  as "the mother  
tongue."  I have recently come across

the expression  /al-QaDiyyah  al-asaas/  (sic)  "the fundamental  
question."

       Is the second expression 'built on' the first?  Is this a new  
syntactic construction that is spreading?

Has it ever been treated grammatically?  Many thanks,
                                                                                              Mike
