Read my posts on Root System and rebut them if you have a single plausible reason
.You mean to say rebut this one?
Qur'aan is composed with Arabic words. And all Arabic Words are derived from a Root, and each Root has a specific perception infolded in it. Anything relied upon other than the Root is just gossip and conjecture

Dear would you please let me know that gentleman who thought or said Qur'aan is from RootDr. Mingana to name one.
Without quoting the name of the Book/Theses/Source/Link this is called just throwing a name in the air. I don't think he was/is also a out of mind gentleman to think Qur'aan is from . Please quote some sensible person/lexicon or just go through the Qur'aan and see that could it mean anywhere even near to Qur'aan.

Quran reaches its real Syriac root of qeryn (quryan, QRYN) which refers to 'religious reading'.

I am sure we can help each other in learning to better understand and comprehend Qur'aan, if we move gradually in proper sequence of Qur'aan. Howere I have studied a little bit of this Root.

if i can read it correctly i see a hamza over here
I think there was no hamza in the Classical Arabic of the Koran, correct me if i am wrong. It had to be added so to fit the -later
Hamza is not one of the 28 "full" letters, and owes its existence to historical orthographical inconsistencies in early Islamic times. In the Phoenician and Aramaic alphabets, from which the Arabic alphabet is descended, the glottal stop was expressed by leph, continued by Arabic alif.... To indicate that a glottal stop, and not a mere vowel, was intended, hamza was added diacritically to alif.

He says this
"23 There is not much doubt in my mind that the word Kuran is imitated from the Syriac Kiryan. All the Biblical lessons to be read in the Churches are called by the Syrians Kiryans. The Prophet called simply his book by the word that was used to name the pericopes of the Revelation in the Christian Churches of his day. We should also remember that in the oldest MSS. of the Kur'an the word is simply written which may be, and has already been, read Kur'an or Kuran without hamzah. I suspect that this reading of the word without hamzah is reminiscent of an earlier pronunciation Kuryan or Kiryan (with a ya' and that the hamzah pronunciation is a late reading adopted to make the word more Arabic and in harmony with the root of the verb kara'a. "He seems to be merely a wanderer, and guessing things.

His just one quote, if you read with open eyes, suffices to conclude about it what I said
But I quoted about Hamza from wikepidia brickwall
even though i am a critic of Dr.Mingana but to call him a wandrer and his work a guess work is far cry. You also have passed almost same remarks about Imam Bukhari, we can disagree with his methodology(though it was the best available at his time) but say "Bukhari type of people" or undermine his reserach work is just too much and can only be done by an amateur mind.
My eyes are open what you need is to open your brain.Alphonse Mingana (born as Hurmiz Mingana, 1878 Sharansh, village near Zakho, Ottoman Empire (present day Iraq) - died 5 December 1937 Birmingham, England) was an Assyrian theologian, historian,orientalist and a former priest who is best known for collecting and preserving the Mingana Collection of ancient Middle Eastern manuscripts at Birmingham

Without reading you start striking against the wall. His quote, I am talking, not your quote of hamza. Read his quote and get your eyes opened.

Would you like to tell us where the Syriac language got it's roots from?
offcourse you know the answer and furthermore this has nothing to do with present post of mine, any how this is the laymans information
Syriac began as an unwritten spoken dialect of Old Aramaic in northern Mesopotamia. The first evidence we have of such dialects is their influence on the written Imperial Aramaic from the 5th century BC.
All the Semitic languages' are built up from triliteral roots that is, the great majority of the words are derived from a simple verbal form, of which the essential elements are three consonants.
The Syriac alphabet, which derived its letters from forms ultimately akin to those of the Old Hebrew and Phoenician alphabets, has the same twenty-two letters as the Hebrew.Far

again this is not what is being discussed. Did I said I ally with him? this only tells you jumped in without reading the posts

For every moment in time there is/was a book. Aflatoon did not benefit from the Book of his time, instead decided to roam about at his own in all fields circularly, in the hope to find some truth, with the result that one never gets the Straight Path given in simple words by the Book. The Book is sublime and is The Guide, rest is unending "Gup Shup".

And how did you know that the book is sublime? now please don't start quoting from the book it self!Just give me a prove that the book is Sublime?
waiting for your reply
Raj-ah
Experience and by applying inteelect bestowed by Allah to human beings for differentiating between scum and fact.
The prove that the Book is sublime is like the Sun which for us is the most bright star. It needs no proof to establish an already admitted fact. The quote from the Book would have been more powereful and convicing, but you have stopped quoting it. -

That intellect seems to be bestowed on you my brother, but others need evidence a solid proof.
You said

Quite a contradiction in your statement.
