80% of Quranic Words

The high-frequency vocabulary that makes up roughly 80% of the Quran's word occurrences — particles, pronouns and core nouns of faith, through the most common verbs and adjectives, to derived verb forms, abstract nouns of character and words whose Quranic sense differs from modern Arabic. Every entry gives Arabic script, transliteration and English meaning, and no word is taught twice.
