    Salam/Peace everyone.

    I found the word baAAda (بعد) which is a accusative time adverb and i checked the root word in PRL and that's Ba-Ayn-Dal and it seems the meaning "after" seems to be missing

    Ba-Ayn-Dal = becoming distant, remote, far off, aloof or far away, removed, retired, withdrew to a distance, alienated, estranged, wide separation, great distance. Possessing judgment and prudence, penetrating, effective judgment, depth or far reaching judgment. Go or going a great length or far in hostility.

    ba'uda vb. (1)
    perf. act. 942, ba'ida 1195
    n.vb. 1144, 1160, 1168, 1195, 2341, 2344, 4338

    ba'id n.m. 2176, 330, 460, 4116, 4136, 4167, 1183, 1189, 143, 1418, 21109, 2212, 2253, 2512, 2722, 348, 3452, 3453, 4144, 4152, 4218, 503, 5027, 5031, 706

    ba'ada vb. (3) impv. 3419

    ab'ada vb. (4) pcple. pass. 21101

    LL, V1, p 261, 262, 263 ## http//ejtaal.net/aa/#q=b3d

    I found the meaning "after" in Lane's Lexicon in http//www.studyquran.org/LaneLexicon/Volume1/00000262.pdf

                Root ن ق م

                Words from this Root in the Grand Qur’ān

                a) Total occurrences 17

                b) No of constructions 10

                Nouns 3; Recurrence 7; Verb 7; Recurrence 10

                (لسان العرب)
                النَّقِمةُ والنَّقْمةُ المكافأَة بالعقوبة

                That it signifies award with retribution, punishment.

                Lane Lexicon 1 نَقَمَ عَلَيْهِ He exacted vengeance upon him, punished him see an ex. voce ابدى in art. بدو. See 8. اِنْتَقَمْتُ مِنْهُ I took, or executed, vengeance on him, or inflicted penal retribution on him, for that which he had done (JK or I punished him; (S, Msb, K as also مِنْهُ ↓ نَقَمْتُ, (Msb, K,) and عَلَيهِ, (TA,) aor. نَقِمَ. نِقْمَةٌ Vengeance; or penal retribution.

                اردو میں انتقام مستعمل ہے۔معنی١ - بدلہ۔ عوض۔ پاداش

                انتقام سے منسوب انتقام سے تعلق رکھنے والی کارروائی جو انتقام کی غرض سے ہو، جیسے انتقامی جذبہ، انتقامی کارروائی۔

                اردو میں فارسی زبان سے مستعار لیا ہوا لفظ ـ’پاداش‘اس مادہ کے تصور کے زیادہ قریب ہے۔

                اردو زبان کے مروجہ تراجم میں اللہ تعالیٰ کے لئے ’انتقام لینے والا‘ اور ’بدلہ لینے والا‘مناسب نہیں ہیں۔جرم کی سزا دینے کو انتقام لینا اور بدلہ لینا کہنا مناسب نہیں۔جرم کی سز دینا مقتدر کی ذمہ داری اور استحقاق ہے۔

                Passion/emotion is not associated when retribution is by the Sovereign awarded to a subject held guilty of crime. Thereby, the sense of revenge is not there.

                  Grand Qur’ān has built in lexicon for its important words and terms. It exposes the perception and meanings of its important words in a picturesque manner. It exposes the meanings of its important words by using it in different semantic fields whereby one can perceive all its dimensions relating to substance as well accident including metaphorical aspect. It exposes the perception and meanings of most of its words picturesquely by relationships and contrasts.

                          Salam,

                          Relationship in bold in my text below

                          In 2431 this term derives from the root khamara to cover, to wrap, to hide, and thus etymologically the word khumur, plural of khimâr, designates all that serves to hide and to hide from the glances. Thus we can deduce that by khimâr we must understand only the function that the Quran confers on it anything that can be useful to hide the neckline and translated by a generic word that is "stuff".

                          In the other other verses it means the wine whose abusive consumption hides the intellect.

                          Peace

                            Yes. Right you are. Very fine.

                            The amazing fact about the Roots of Arabic is that the perception enfolded in them is reflective of physical—scientific realities pertaining both to matter and life. They seem as if they are the baseline for scientific study and investigation. What alcoholic drink has to do with the scarf of cloth put over the bosoms of a woman? It has the same affect that is caused by the one or two drinks, i.e. blurred vision.

                            The size and shape of the bosoms gets blurred for the vision of onlooker if an extra scarf is placed over the chest. Thereby, his brain gets no signal to trigger negative emotion.

                              Interesting thought. Allah knows best.

                              This example shows us how it is important to find the core meaning of the root of a word before putting a form.
                              I saw your translation of 590 ".. The Certain Facts About the Alcoholic Beverages and Gambling ...". and the word "wal-maysiru" by "Gambling".
                              What is the relationship between the core meaning of "ease" that comes from this root and the word "Gambling"?
                              Peace.

                                Good point.

                                Root ى س ر

                                Words from this Root in the Grand Qur’ān

                                a) Total occurrences 44

                                b) No of constructions 18

                                It occurs in 40 Ayahs in 27 Sura

                                Nouns 10; Recurrence 29; Verb 8 Recurrence 15

                                Ibn Faris stated

                                (مقاييس اللغة)

                                الْيَاءُ وَالسِّينُ وَالرَّاءُ أَصْلَانِ يَدُلُّ أَحَدُهُمَا عَلَى انْفِتَاحِ شَيْءٍ وَخِفَّتِهِ، وَالْآخَرُ عَلَى عُضْوٍ مِنَ الْأَعْضَاء

                                َالْأَوَّلُ الْيُسْرُ ضِدُّ الْعُسْرِ. وَالْيَسَرَاتُ الْقَوَائِمُ الْخِفَافُ

                                That it firstly leads to the perception of liberality and openness of a thing and its lightness. Thereby, it is contra. of difficult, hard, strait and intricate.

                                Lane Lexicon He was, or became, gentle, and tractable, submissive, manageable, or easy; He (God) made it, or rendered it, easy; facilitated it. It (a thing) was, or became, facilitated, or easy; contr. of difficult, hard, strait, or intricate;

                                Classical Lexicons

                                The Root relates to activity and set of circumstance and thus is an experience. An experience has an easy or difficult time carrying out an activity.

                                It is also used to refer to gambling, game of chance because the consideration behind it is easiness in making money.

                                What is harmful in it? Please suggest to include it in the dictionary.

                                  Very goog job with your lexicographic cards (a good synthesis specially to find the core concept by using Ibn Faris). That Allah bless you for your work. After, only Allah and his last book can confirm the work of human being (as human works it is perfectible).

                                  I think it is not specially the place here (an another subject in this forum?) but it will be interesting to analyse the Quranic context and in particular to answer at the question you raise Why excess of "Gambling" is a bad evil ? With quranic proofs/evidences of course not just imagination.
                                  We can understand, and signs are given in The Quran, about Wine (alcohol inside) but "Gambling" ? either it is forbidden or it is allowed otherwise what is the limit of excess?

                                  Peace

                                    The intention of each gambler is to become owner of other's wealth. Eventually he may become lethargic, dilapidated in undertaking efforts for economics.

                                    I have put all the Ayahs where it occurs. Please advise about the suitability of word choice in different contexts like gentle, smooth, convenient.

                                    Affect of gambling is given in Ayahs.
