      Forgot to say for non arabic
      HAYAWAN means in arabic animal
      but in Coran when talking about animal, the word DABA is always used, never HAYAWAN.
      DABA any animal walking on earth.

      The question is why?

          Thank you for your reply but it does not answer my question. I know HAYAWAN has the root HAYYA.
          But by wich grammatical rule it became HAYAWAN= HAYA+W+AN, what type of construction it is to end the termination +W+AN????
          I was wondering if it was the same as QURAN=QUR+AN???? from root QARA A??? Not sure about that, please help!
          Thanks

            im wondring why every one is silent why they are not ansawring you i have no licence for the root busness but those with phd should come farword and help you. As per my understanding hayawan is used for all those who have life human are also called hayawan or hayawan naatek.
            I will request others to help you find the ansawer and if they dont know then must say sorry we dont know. >

              Peace all
              I got that one afridi ;D(I hope I'm right)

              Hayw + An = Haywan, which is the same as Gadeb (angrey) + An+ Gadban

              • =
              • =
              • =

              when adding An it gives a meaning of continuing and non stopping action to the verb.
              Therefore Haywan means the eternal Life
              Peace

                Thanks for your reply. It makes sense, but I still have one question pending, what is the "W" for?

                I mean if you follow the same rule it should be HAYY+AN (the root fol live is HAYY with shada), therefore the word would be HAYYAAN!

                Am I wrong somewhere????

                  I'm not sure, but, Hayw is an arabic word that means living.
                  On the other hand, Hayyaan is not an arabic word.
                  And God is Thy Knowledgable.

                      I didn't find any other verse with the word 'hayawan', are you sure it is a verse from the Quran? Not sure about that.

                      Peace

                          The root is HYW. That's where the "Wau" comes from.
