IDIOMATSKI GLAGOLSKI OBLICI U KUR'ANU
IDIOMATIC WORDS IN QUR’AN

Summary/Abstract: The author in this paper deals with Qur’anic idioms, i.e. with relatively small number of words (according to the research of Mustansir Mir, published in his book Verbal Idioms of the Qur’an, there are only 1702 of them) whose root serves for derivation of other words with similar meaning. Qur’an, indeed, has a small vocabulary. From the language point of view, those 1702 words can wrongly bring us to the conclusion that Qur’an is a book which is simple for reading and comprehension. But that is a tricky conclusion. If we consult volumes of books on Qur’anic syntax, semantics and grammar, we can see that in nearly each of its ayah are hidden one or more linguistic questions and problems which need particular studies. The insight into that problem will lead every researcher to start understanding the richness and complexity of Qur’anic language. Besides the introduction to Qur’anic idiomatic vocabulary, the author brings a handful of such words, their derivatives and meanings.
