There are four main classes of “Arabic”:

1. Post-Proto/Pre-Islamic/Spoken-only (one with no religious connotation since the religious language of the pagans was either Nabataean or Sabaic in the 5th-6th centuries, Greek for Christian and Hebrew for Jewish Arabic speaking population)
2. Para/Post-Abbasid (more popularly called “Classical” that is highly algebraic/formulaec)
3. Modern standardized
4. Colloquial/Regional

Quran’s language is the 1st kind of Arabic, that can also be comprehended using the 2nd kind…

An average Arab Joe today (don’t take the name literally) would have to actually spend a few years, first learning Classical Arabic to properly understand what the verses of the Quran actually mean.

Considering this, I do not think point 11 from the original post holds since that kind of Arabic is lightyears away from the language of the Quran.

Other than the lexicon, any good books you might suggest to understand the Quranic arabic with proper concordance.
