Project: 'Root List'

[Wakas]

peace,

Lane's Lexicon is one of the Classical Arabic lexicons/dictionaries in use in PRL http//www.studyquran.co.uk/PRLonline.htm

suggesting/title of the project creates an impression as if these are the meanings/concept/perception of the Root.

Perhaps you can clarify where you got this notion from, so that this can be reviewed.

This project will convey a wrong perception to many people who do not know the ABC of Arabic and result in disservice rather than a service to humanity.

You are the first to state you thought the project is about highlighting the concept/thought of a root. It does not state this anywhere, however, it does make this process more possible, as you implied in your last paragraph

If only the meanings of words narrated by Lane are to be given, would it not be the best thing to link the pages of Lane's Lexicon seperately for each Root so that almost all the words could come into the notice of the reader and he would be able to make some understanding about the concept infolded in that Root.

Firstly, Lane's Lexicon has already been linked to every root so the reader can research further as you suggest. Secondly, the distribution of PRL will not be limited to the internet

Lastly, PRL is not static, it is a gradual building blocks project, from the foundation up. Your suggestion of citing thought/concept of a root has already been discussed and may be added in the future

If you would like to offer your time for this aspect, then please pm me.

Thanks.

I had noticed this from

Project Root List now has classical Arabic meanings listed for 99% of roots used in Al Quran

Kindly get the two links refreshed since it did not open.

I have added this link ?quraninstitute? in list of my favorites. I would love to spare time for the work you assign to me; after 9th Sep since marriage of my son is fixed on that date. Thanks, and looking forward to work for good cause, InshaAllah.

The links work fine for me, I just checked them.

Hello,

I think this paragraph is mistaken

= Lam-Ha = To change colour, become visible, scorching one, broad table or plate, tablet.

LL, V7, p 180, 181

The words are correctly quoted at the root Lam-Waw-Ha.

Peace

[Wakas]

Now corrected, thanks.

PRL Update Formatting is currently being re-considered to include a short translation to highlight where the word occurs in a verse. See Saad-Ayn-Dal as a suggested example. Feedback welcome.

[wildguest1956]

jibillah n.f. 26184, 3662

i think in 3662, it is not jibillah, but jibill

Peace bro Wakas,

Tawaffa is not listed. Ta Waw Fa.

2281 is an example, If you want to verify the root.

[Wakas]

peace,

JM, thanks, it's been corrected now.

HMD, the word is "tawaffa" but the root is "Waw-Fa-Ya". "ta" is often a prefix.

Salam,

Dear Wakas,

I skimmed through the Project Root List and was very impressed by what has been achieved so far. Would you by any chance need an extra pair of hands for this project? Can I help in any way?

If so, where would i start?

Regards

Usamah

[Wakas]

peace,

Waqas, sorry I did not open this thread until now, shame on me. Please let me know if you are still short of funds for above mentioned need. Please you could email me privately on my email address. This is one of the most important project that needs to be completed as soon as possible. Whatever little I can do to help, I will.

salaams,
I am willing Vakas and at your disposal. I have a lot of lexicons,including Lane,s.
I also teach Quranic Arabic. I will try to squeeze out maximum time for this noble task.

[mohamad_itani]

our understanding of the quran might be fine with us,and we will be enlightened but that will never give us the possibility to enlighten others. instead give what has caused you enlightenment to others so they get that light too.

[Wakas]

instead give what has caused you enlightenment to others so they get that light too.

Exactly. Quran books/resources/tools etc can cause enlightenment, hence giving them to others.
