(لَوَنَ) اللَّامُ وَالْوَاوُ وَالنُّونُ كَلِمَةٌ وَاحِدَةٌ، وَهِيَ سَحْنَةُ الشَّيْءِ: مِنْ ذَلِكَ اللَّوْنُ: لَوْنُ الشَّيْءِ، كَالْحُمْرَةِ وَالسَّوَادِ، وَيُقَالُ: تَلَوَّنَ فُلَانٌ: اخْتَلَفَتْ أَخْلَاقُهُ. وَاللَّوْنُ: جِنْسٌ مِنَ التَّمْرِ. وَاللِّينَةُ: النَّخْلَةُ، مِنْهُ، وَأَصْلُ الْيَاءِ فِيهَا وَاوٌ. قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: {مَا قَطَعْتُمْ مِنْ لِينَةٍ} [الحشر: 5] . وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِالصَّوَابِ.
Volunteers needed (having reasonably advanced knowledge of Arabic, and relatively good English): There are 20-40 dictionaries that can be added to The Arabic Lexicon once the digital versions are reviewed and any necessary corrections carried out (sometimes this can be done in a few hours).
