Jazakallah to brother Amr from http://lisanularab.org/forums/index.php for answering this question


There are nine huruf al-'atf if you exclude إمّا :

Here they are in the following examples:


جَاءَ زَيْدٌ وَخَالِدٌ (Zaid and Khalid came)
جَاءَ زَيْدٌ فَخَالِدٌ (Zaid, then Khalid came immediately thereafter)
جَاءَ زَيْدٌ ثُمَّ خَالِدٌ (Zaid, then Khalid came a while thereafter)
جَاءَ زَيْدٌ أَوْ خَالِدٌ (Zaid or Khalid came)
أَزَيْدٌ جَاءَ أَمْ خَالِدٌ (Did Zaid or Khalid come?)
جَاءَ الطُّلاَّبُ حَتَّى خَالِدٌ (The students came, even Zaid)
مَا جَاءَ زَيْدٌ لَكِنْ خَالِدٌ (Zaid did not come but Khalid did)
مَا جَاءَ زَيْدٌ بَلْ خَالِدٌ (Zaid did not come but Khalid came instead)
جَاءَ زَيْدٌ لاَ خَالِدٌ (Zaid – not Khalid – came)

[Amr]

Just a small correction.

The sentence جَاءَ الطُّلاَّبُ حَتَّى خَالِدٌ (The students came, even Zaid) should translate as: (The students came, even Khalid).

Shukran.
