Abstract
Western scholars and Muslim exegetes alike are of one voice in conceptualizing the Qur’ānic verb ‘aqala as "understand." Noting an opportunity to pry at a rarely-questioned spot in the consensus of Qur’ānic studies, this thesis attempts – following the methodologies of Richter (1971) and Isutzu (1995, 2002) and within the framework given by Nöldeke and Schwally (1909) – to expose new semantic depths of the root ‘-q-l (occurring exclusively as the verb ‘aqala) as it appears in the Qur’ān. Using a diachronic literary, syntactic, semantic, and lexical approach, the depth of the field(s) occupied by ‘-q-l will be explored, providing insights potentially valuable to translators and students of the Qur’ān.
