Meaning or components in common
Dear Classmates
When you study the definition of words in Arabic you encounter a form as follows:
Word#1: Component1 + Component2
Component1 often determines the general category of the meaning
Component2 specializes the meaning and makes contrast between words
Example: "Zaraba" - Hitting
"Taragha" - Hitting + Intensity + Affecting
The first component defines the family of words, or the category of hitting and the second
components specializes the word "Taragha" from "Zaraba".
By Diagnosing the 2nd component of the words used in a surah you can find out the intention
behind revealing it and talk about it more accurately.
The commonness in components can be tracked through tabulating the keywords and investigating
the relations between words.
