Note for grammar fans: In terms of i.zaafat structure, surmah-saa should be considered just as a single adjective. It must also be considered to be the Persian saa (see the definition above)-- which, intriguingly, is very like the Indic saa (except that it doesn't have separate feminine and plural/oblique forms). But the Persian saa can be used with an i.zaafat , while the Indic one cannot. Another such case: {80,5}.
