      Quote from san on Today at 113315 AM
      Thank you, that tells a lot for on all three verses 937, 17 and 7179

      It is from . Erring, straying etc is the result and the cause is unmindfulness, indifference to the surroundings, non responsive, absorption in something that makes people unmindful as to what is happening around. Straying is by design and will and that is the extreme meaning/eventuality of the Root .

        Yes, Daad Lam Lam, i noticed the tashdid hence my question above. OK, so the nuance may not be 'catched' accurately by either 'lost' or 'misguided' but 'lost' seems more fitting than the two. IMO.

        The Researcher of above quoted website has told me that they are merely quoting the "translation" picked up from others, for only ease of visitors.

        I just realized that this morning. Hope they will provide Lane reference.

        Peace.

          But it may be noted that the word is "Active participle". He is doing an act or seeking and what he is doing/seeking has been responded as mentioned at the end of verse, relating to the act done.

            So what do you suggest for a translation that's as short as possible but still retain the nuance adequately?

            "Pursuing", "Seeking", "Searching"?

            or if not in a single word, what about

            "Pursuing/Seeking/Searching until lost"?

            Peace,

              As already stated"

              "absorbed in the pursuit of absolute truth/reality".
