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.

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"?

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

b) No of constructions 9
Noun 7; Recurrence 8; Verb 2
Ibn Faris stated
(مقاييس اللغة)
السين والواو والدال أصلٌ واحد، وهو خلاف البياضِ في اللّونِ، ثم يحمل عليه ويشتقّ منه. فالسَّواد في اللّون معروف.
That it is opposite of white, whiteness, oviparous in colour; and then other meanings are derived from it; black, blackness in colour is well known.
Lane Lexicon He was, or became, possessed of glory, honour, dignity, eminence, exalted or elevated state, or nobility. It, and he, became أَسْوَد (S, M, Msb, K) and ↓ اسوادّ it, or he, became intensely so.
Classical Lexicons
Apparently the words stemming from this Root have widely divergent meanings of black colour and for referring a person for honour, dignity, eminence but later meanings do relate to the psyche of black colour. In color psychology, black's color meaning is symbolic of mystery, power, elegance, and sophistication. In contrast, the color meaning can also evoke emotions such as sadness and anger reflected by facial expression.
