  1. Jazakallahu Khayr Katsir for your effort

  2. is the version 1.1 being verified? I, for example, noticed that word شَأَمَ is missing as a heading. It goes from the previous word and runs into this word. If I see a scanned image http://www.tyndalearchive.com/tabs/lane/ I see the word.

    When I tried to process all words like that, several were missed.

    1. Thanks for comments. Can you please send a list of missing words to my email address?

  3. Hi!
    I think showing the date of every new update is quite helpful, so that people can check if they downloaded the latest one.

    1. Started adding the date for update. From now onwards. I will add the date for all updates.

  4. How long is it going to take to proof read it all and release the final version?

  5. Thank you so much for this important source of research. A great contribution.

    http://lexicon.quranic-research.net/data/09_c/012_cbr.html
    Is there an explanation of this somewhere of these i,e what these abbreviations stand for?

    1. Please download and read preface:

      3. Chronological list of the more celebrated of the Lexicologists and Grammarians cited in the following work ……

  10. Is Lane’s lexicon out of copyright clasue?.I know its pretty costly but i am asking this on moral basis of not wanting to download a pirated book.
    I would be on top of the world if it were.
