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". | |||
