Cautions
Points that affect how this root should be read.
The Quranic occurrence is attested by QAC, with a contextual gloss of “more grievous,” but the supplied packet contains no direct Lane or Mufradat lexical explanation establishing a numbered Quranic sense.
Unassigned or ambiguous evidence
The sole Lane primary unit points to دهو without reproducing its lexical discussion, and no Mufradat entry is supplied; consequently, the Quranic adjective أَدْهَى cannot be assigned a supported lexical sense from this packet alone.
