Chicken and the egg.. you did not get my point. I am aware of the interpretations you have posted. My focus was on highlighting that the Quran is the final verdict on any halal and Haram suggestions. Could you prove that Music is Haram from the Quran?
Moreover, I agree that the best reference for the Quran is the Quran but when it comes to words with multiple meanings the method you proscribe or the one I state of using earliest arabic sources are acceptable. At this point we are beating around the bush with similar arguments.
