Description

The Arabic root ثني (th-n-y) carries the core semantic meaning of duality, doubling, and the number two, extending to concepts of pairing, folding, and repetition. In the Quran, this root appears in various forms to denote numerical concepts like two, twelve (two plus ten), and pairs, as well as abstract ideas such as duplicity, turning away, or folding back. The root's significance lies in expressing divine order through pairs and duality in creation, such as male and female pairs, while also conveying human behaviors like turning away from truth or having double standards in faith.
