The Lane reference to the Quran uses historical citation notation; the modern Quran locations shown here come only from the supplied QAC data.
مَوْزَجٌ is listed as an Arabicized Persian noun and should not be taken as evidence for the inherited root's semantic development.
The bitter-almond sense of مِزْجٌ is retained as a qualified Classical attestation because its correctness is questioned in the cited lexical discussion.
