Quranic Verb Form II

Most Quranic words are derived from a three-letter (triliteral) root. And each triliteral Arabic root can be transformed into one of Twelve possible verb forms. The verbs that do not take extra letters with the Triliteral Root are called   ﺛﹹﻠﺎﺛﻲ ﻣﹹﺠﺮﹼﺩ   or Pure Triliteral Verbs.
The verbs that take extra letters with the Triliteral Root are called   ثلاثي مزيد فيه or Triliteral with extra letters.
The Quranic Verb Form II is made up of doubling the medial letter of the trilateral root. For example كَذَبَ  becomes كَذَّبَ. That means an extra كَ is added in the middle in the above example.
The Verbal Noun is constituted on the structure ( تَفْعِيْلُ ) So the Verbal Noun of the above Verb is  ( تَكْذِيْبُ )
In the whole Quran, there are 1615 words on this Form II. Out of them 1300 are verbs and the rest are Nouns and Adjectives. But without repetition, there are only 171 Verbs on this FORM. Here is a list of of those 171 Verbs with their frequency and meanings.
