Verse (39:23)

The analysis above refers to the 23rd verse of chapter 39 (sūrat l-zumar):

Sahih International: Allah has sent down the best statement: a consistent Book wherein is reiteration. The skins shiver therefrom of those who fear their Lord; then their skins and their hearts relax at the remembrance of Allah. That is the guidance of Allah by which He guides whom He wills. And one whom Allah leaves astray - for him there is no guide.

Root is already correctly mentioned as qaaf shiin ayn ra

But Form is Q.IV i.e. 4th form of the quadriliteral :

and for roots with 4 letters its form cannot be called IV, but will be called Q.IV, as IV is only dedicated for triliteral forms and use of IV with quadriliteral forms is not allowable. Q.IV is acceptable. .

So can any one show :

Triliteral Forms other than I, II, II, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X

Quadriliteral forms other than Q.I and Q.IV

being used in the Qur'an at any place?
