Cautions
Points that affect how this root should be read.
The sole QAC form group is identified as the noun نِسَاء and occurs 59 times, with contextual renderings such as “women” and “wives.” However, the supplied packet contains no Lane or Mufradāt lexical evidence directly establishing that Quranic sense, so no numbered Quranic sense is asserted.
The Lane record is a supplemental-root match and its supplied lexical material concerns Form VI forgetting-related expressions and النَّسَا, not the Quranic noun نِسَاء.
Unassigned or ambiguous evidence
The Quranic form نِسَاء is consistently rendered contextually as “women” or related expressions, but that meaning cannot be assigned a numbered Quranic sense from Quran Foundation context alone because no matching Lane or Mufradāt explanation is supplied.
