Root: ك ع ب
Words from this Root in the Grand Qur’ān:

Ibn Faris [died 1005] stated:
(مقاييس اللغة)
الكاف والعين والباء أصل صحيح* يدلُّ على نتوٍّ وارتفاعٍ في الشيء.
That it leads to the perception of protrusion, projection, protuberance, bulge and rise, ascension of a thing.
Lane Lexicon transcribed it:
كعّب , inf. n. تَكْعِيبٌ; The girl's breast swelled, or became prominent or protuberant, [or began to swell, & see كَاعِبٌ]: or they use the term تَفْلِيكٌ; then نُهُودٌ; and then تَكْعِيبٌ; [as applied to the successive stages of growth of the breast]; It (a reed, or cane,) put forth, or produced, its jointed stem.
Semantic Domain: Human body—Root: ج س د
Sub category: Ankle
Oblong; elongated shape, especially a distorted circle. Elliptical
It is used to name the ankles wherein the irreducible feature of the Root is present since ankles are projecting outwards from surface. It is also used to refer to women indicating their maturity in every aspect with subtle reference to beauty of breasts [attraction and weakness of men].

The adjectival phrase: الْبَيْتَ الْحَرَامَ is: بدل equivalent appositive for: الْكَعْبَةَ which is the first object of preceding verb. The fact of equivalent appositive is also supported by inner-referencing that both are mentioned twice in the text of Qur’ān. The adjectival phrase is mentioned in 5:02 and 5:97 and proper noun: الْكَعْبَةَ is mentioned in 5:95 and 5:97.
The protuberance, projection is the irreducible semantic feature of Root:: ك ع ب. This feature is also physically present in: الْكَعْبَةَ . The physical structure renders the people, moving anti clockwise around it, in an elliptical circumference - orbit. This way they synchronize their selves with the entire universe. It is the irreducible effect of the perception - meanings embedded in the Root. The following is the sketch of: الْكَعْبَةَ:
Apparently it seems a simple building, but I wish mathematic experts research to find that it is par excellence structure built on the principle of Golden Mean.
