Since apologists are counting complicated forms like ''wa-bil-yawmi'', we cannot say that they count only the "simple" or "basic" forms. And by counting words with prefixes, they are inconsistent by not counting words with suffixes, like ''yawmi-kum''. Their choice of grammatical forms counted is very arbitrary. They exclude 20 (including 11 singular) forms out of 38. If they counted all forms, they wouldn't get 365, if they counted only singular forms, they wouldn't get to 365. Since there are so many ways for arbitrary selection from 38 numbers, it is not a miracle that one of those selections turned out to have an interesting sum. | Since apologists are counting complicated forms like ''wa-bil-yawmi'', we cannot say that they count only the "simple" or "basic" forms.

==The completely ignored نهار (''nahaar'')== | |||
''Yawm'' (يوم) is not the only Arabic word used in the Quran for "day". The word ''nahaar'' (نهار) which also means "day" occurs 57 times in the Quran <ref>http://corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?q=nhr</ref>. Apologists completely ignore this word when counting occurrences of "day". | |||

* The word يوم in its basic form (consisting only of the trilateral root ي - و - م (ya - waw - mim) without any suffix/prefix letters and while ignoring the differences in diacritics) appears 217 times in the Qur'an. | * The word يوم in its basic form (consisting only of the trilateral root ي - و - م (ya - waw - mim) without any suffix/prefix letters and while ignoring the differences in diacritics) appears 217 times in the Qur'an. | ||
* To arrive at 365 occurrences, apologists exclude 3 dual and 27 plural forms, 10 singular occurrences with [[Arabic pronouns and the Quran|suffixed possessive pronouns]] and 70 forms of the word يومئذ (yawma-ithin, which means "that day"), but allow 91 words with prefixes بِ (bi), وَ (wa), فَ (fa) or لِ (li). They also allow 75 occurrences with the ال (al) prefix, although اليوم (''al-yawm'') often means "today". | * To arrive at 365 occurrences, apologists exclude 3 dual and 27 plural forms, 10 singular occurrences with [[Arabic pronouns and the Quran|suffixed possessive pronouns]] and 70 forms of the word يومئذ (yawma-ithin, which means "that day"), but allow 91 words with prefixes بِ (bi), وَ (wa), فَ (fa) or لِ (li).

* The Arabic word ''nahaar'' (نهار), which also means "day", is completely ignored by apologists. If we added its 57 occurrences to the 475 occurrences of yawm (يوم), that would be 532 occurrences of "day". | |||
