الهمزة والباء والدال يدلّ
بناؤها على طول المدّة، وعلى التوحّش.
قالوا: الأبد الدهر،
وجمعه آباد
The basic perception infolded in the Root is that of indefinitely long time. A time span which cannot be measured, or determined, or analyzed by divisions. This signifies, when used with negation, absolute negation for ever, the distant end of which is not determinable. Expressively denotes, "never, not even once at any point in time".
Semantic Domain: Time—Root: و ق ت
Time is often referred to as the fourth dimension, along with the three spatial dimensions.
