agree  TargamaT team: أندر من/ "أكثر ندرة من" خطأ لغوي مقيت

  -> Many thanx Targamat. Yes, you are right. The right answer should beأندر من
agree  Lamis Maalouf: Yes for أندر, as for أشد ندرة, the reason we should not use it is that نادر does not need it! We use أشد، أكثر وغيرها jut to help when the word can't be formed like with مزدهر، مضطرب، منقاد إلخ
