سلام عليكم,
Any web resource that we can read on determining patterns of the root of the
arabic words?

Salamu Alaykum Fazlul Haque,
To the best of my knowledge, our project is the first accurate
annotated morphological work for the Quran by computer, so I would be
surprised at an accurate unique word count from another secondary
source. Although of course, I could be wrong. The number of unique
Arabic words in the Quran is not an easy question to answer. In Arabic
the concept of a word can have multiple technical linguistic
interpretations. Based on the existing annotation we have performed at
the Quranic Arabic Corpus (http://corpus.quran.com), I can provide the
following statistics:
Total number of space-seperated words = 77,430
Number of *unique* surface forms (i.e. space-separated word-forms,
including clitics) = 18994
Number of unique words by *stem* = 12183
Number of unique words by *root* = 1685 (not necessarily a great
metric for unique word counting, e.g. pronouns have no Semitic root)
Number of unique words by *lemma* = 3382 (excluding verbs, and other
words where lemma is not annotated).
