Pray for the Truth

Quranic root

قلي

q · l · y

The supplied evidence centers on intense aversion: the hated object is rejected by the heart.

The lexical discussion preserves competing derivational explanations, relating the aversion sense either figuratively to casting away or separately to roasting on a pan. These alternatives do not make casting a direct meaning of this root's Quranic forms.

Cautions

Points that affect how this root should be read.

  • The supplied Lane evidence is only a cross-reference pointer, so the Quranic senses are supported by the explicit Quran-focused lexical discussion.

  • The lexical discussion gives an alternative q-l-w analysis involving casting or throwing away; this is not assigned as a direct meaning of qly because it is explicitly presented as a competing root attribution.

Unassigned or ambiguous evidence

  • The q-l-w ('casting or throwing away') explanation in mufradat:row:1205 is a competing derivational analysis rather than securely assigned direct evidence for the qly root, so it is not represented as a qly meaning.
