Salaamun alaikum guys,
Good point to raise, Kylester!
I'd like to add some of my own, if i may
-
Notice that 'nasr' and its derivatives also mean 'help'. Seeing the dissimilarities between 'nasr' and '3awan' will yield a clearer picture.
-
2/67-71 gives a clear picture of what it means to be 'awan' through a physical metaphor, so i'd stick to this example as my pivotal example.
-
23/50 and 107/7 are missing from joe's list for some reason. I'd look at these two for the results of 'aun'.
To me, 2/153 'astainu bisabri wasalawaat' means 'seek a state of optimum being through endurance and focus' and notice at the end of this verse, Allah is with as-sabireen. So does 'istaan' and 'salaat' make constituents of 'sabr' ?

Peace be upon you all,
Thank you all for jumping on this so quickly with excellent info. Let me digest some of this.

peace mq, all,
- 23/50 and 107/7 are missing from joe's list for some reason. I'd look at these two for the results of 'aun'.
The root Ayn-Waw-Nun does not occur in the above two references as far as I'm aware. In 1077 it is Miim-Nun-Ayn.
Kyle - you can read the Lane entry here

peace mq,
I can understand why you're saying that, but going by CofQ, DofQ, openburhan (and Lane indirectly), the root of 'maAAoona' is Miim-Ayn-Nun. Perhaps you can explain your factorisation of this root and roots like it (i.e. provide other similar examples), to clarify things.
Thanks.

Well, it works like so I find words which various forms and root out the..well, roots. For example, Kassis notes that the root o Madeenah is 'mdh' but Fuad Abdul Baqi roots is to 'dyn'. In other words, he rooted it further which is exactly what im doing. 'Rattilul quranan tarteela', dont forget!

Hmm, that sounds a little odd. Couldn't that significantly change the meaning of some words and thus signs/message?
Does your rendering of the root correlate with the grammar in 1077? I.e. you are saying it does and thus it is theoretically possible to have either as its root?
You have CofQ by Kassis?

Yes it could and it does. Think about it, doesn't your inner compass resonate with madeenah rooted in 'dyn' more than 'mdh' ? Mine does.

No, I don't accept 'al-maaoon' rooted in 'm-3a-n', it doesn't fit in for me because of the maf'al form. To me, the only root is 'awn'and it links inextricably to ad-deen and as-salaat in this chapter.
You have CofQ by Kassis?
Not with me, no. But I remember that particular root vividly because it made me wonder at the time. Deen is so prominent in madeenah, i thought to myself.
