l-y-t

Description

The Arabic root ليت (l-y-t) does not actually appear in the Quran. You may be confusing it with a similar root or the particle ليت (layta), which is a word of wish or regret meaning "if only" or "would that," but this particle is not derived from a trilateral root in the traditional sense. If you're referring to a root that means "to deprive," you might be thinking of ألت (alata) from the root أ-ل-ت, which appears in the Quran meaning to diminish or deprive someone of their deeds or rewards.
