s-w-gh

Description

The Arabic root سوغ (s-w-gh) carries the core meaning of something passing smoothly through the throat or being easily accepted and agreeable. In the Quran, it appears in contexts describing both the physical act of swallowing with difficulty (as in the torment of those who consume usury or face punishment) and the metaphorical sense of something being made pleasant, acceptable, or easy to receive. This root emphasizes the contrast between what flows naturally and agreeably versus what is harsh and difficult to take in, whether literally or figuratively, often highlighting the consequences of human choices and divine mercy.
