Before objecting to a classification, determine whether “kalimah” is used in the strict grammatical sense of a single word or in a broader discussion of verbal expression and semantic reference. A definition may concern a linguistic transfer without claiming that every figurative construction consists of exactly one lexical unit.
كلمة الله هي العليا
God's word is supreme.
The Qur'anic use of “kalimah” must not be confused automatically with the technical category “word” in linguistic classification. Different disciplinary and contextual uses of the same noun call for separate analysis.
