salaam brother

There are a few issues which need to be considered with regards to Lane's lexicon:

1. It is defenitley not for novices in the language since-as you mentioned- is based on authoritive, classical sources.
2. Despite it being published as a complete work (2 editions: pakistani/indian * 2 (cheap but print not so good)and british edition( very expensive but good quality about $350.00 us), From the 'Letter Qaf' onwards, it is unedited notes of the author which were compiled by the publishers which adds to greater complicating an already complicated lexicon.

Hope this contiributes to the discussion.

True some people might find it difficult to read, but I started using it from the very start of my training in Arabic and have greatly benefited from it. So I think the novice could benefit as well. And I believe you are refering to the Supplement when you say that "from the letter Qaf onwards." The supplement though not as detailed as the original work provides the meanings needed to decipher text.

Bro I would advise you to use the hans wehr dictionary. It has numerous benefits, but the main one is the organisation around the triletaral roots of the verbs and relating all the derived forms back to their roots. looking for words in this dictionary is itself an educating process.

The EW Lane Lexicon is also organized around the triletaral roots of verbs.

Its a bit cumbersome for the learner, who would probably get lost in the detail.

Bro Yusuf, keep it up for a year and you''ll have a good grasp of the arabic language, both in terms of vocab and etymological linkage between derivative forms.

May Allah :taala: make it easy for you to learn the language of the Qur'an.
