Counted from the Quranic Arabic Corpus: a word is known whole when every part of it has been taught. The counts say which words you have met, not how much you understand.
Some of the commonest words of the Qur’ān carry the religion, and the course gives no meaning of its own for them: you read their meaning in the verses, with the edition's meaning beside them. This lesson teaches nine of them all the same, for what can be taught without a meaning: their letters, their roots, and the patterns they are built on. Knowing them, you will recognise many more words of the Qur’ān whole.

A verb and its doer
A verb has a noun for the one who does it. Grammar calls it the active participle. For a verb of form IV, as of every form after the first, it begins with mu-.
- ءَامَنُ
- وا۟they (as the doer of a verb); them, their
Āmanū is the past of āmana with ū, "they", from lesson 2. The corpus marks āmana as form IV, from the root ʾ-m-n: form IV puts a- in front of the root, as in akhraja from lesson 18, and here the root's first letter is a hamzah, so aʾ- is said ā-.
- بِwith, by, in
- ٱلْthe
- مُؤْمِنِينَ
Bi-l-muʾminīna is bi, then al-, then muʾminīna. The corpus marks muʾmin as the active participle of form IV, from the same root as āmana, and muʾminīna masculine plural, in the genitive.
The masculine plural
A masculine plural that adds an ending adds -ūna in the nominative and -īna in the genitive and accusative: muʾminūna, muʾminīna.
- كَفَرُ
- وا۟they (as the doer of a verb); them, their
Kafarū is kafara with ū, "they": a verb of the first form, with the doer joined at its end as in lesson 6.
Words with a pronoun
- رَّبِّ
- كَyou, your (one man)
Rabbika is rabb, in the genitive, and ka, "your". The corpus marks rabb masculine.
- بِwith, by, in
- ـَٔايَٰتِ
- نَاwe (as the doer of a verb); us, our
Bi-āyātinā is bi, then āyāt, the feminine plural of āyah with -āt from lesson 9, then nā, "our".
