In Quranic linguistics, a lemma is the canonical dictionary form of a word — the form you'll typically find in a lexicon. It acts as the base reference for all grammatical variations of a word such as conjugated verbs or inflected nouns.

Example:

  • Lemma: رَحِمَ – to have mercy
  • Derived forms:
    • يَرْحَمُ – he has mercy
    • نَرْحَمُ – we have mercy
    • ارْحَمْ – have mercy! (imperative)

QUL exports lemma data as Sqlite database with two tables lemmas and word_lemmas.
