peace,
Please use the excellent Quran study tools that are available online to study these questions See www.studyquran.org and its flagship project http//www.studyquran.co.uk/PRLonline.htm
The above has been repeated many many times on this forum. The information available to those wishing to study The Quran has never been better, please use it.
The following is taken from the site
Kaaf-Ayn-Ba = swell/prominent/protuberant/projection/budding (common examples include a woman's breasts), jointed-stem, fold, went away, joint/juncture/division of bones (more commonly the ankle bone), tarsus (in animals), swift, eminence/nobility/glory, anything elevated, square/cubic house/chamber, square-form.
Quote from Lane's lexicon "a house or temple belonging to the tribe of Rabee'ah, who used to compass it, or perform circuits round it (as is done round the Kabbeh of Mekkeh)".Hans Wehr - Knot, knob, node (of cane); joint, articulation, ankles, anklebone; heel (of foot or shoe) ferule; die; cube; high rank, fame, glory, honor.
Everything that the male of the form fa'lun (being the representation of the Cl. Arabic form in question, universally applied to all roots) can mean, so can the female (fa'latun or modernly and colloquially fa'lah), with the added meaning of emphasis that the feminization of the word gives; where it is clear that there could be intensification. The female form can be found in 595, 597.
kab n.m. 56
kabah n.f. 595, 597
Kawa'ib (plural of ka'ib) n.f. 7833
LL, V7, p 143, 144
