* In the verse 42:22 the word appears with the ''al-'' prefix. ''Al-Jannah'' usually refers to the paradise and not to the gardens in paradise. But the word is plural and that would mean that there are many paradises. So this word probably means "gardens". However, even if we add this word to the ''Al-Jannah'' (paradise) word count, it still doesn't get to the word count 77. And for the total word count (paradise + paradise gardens) it doesn't matter in which category this word is. | * In the verse 42:22 the word appears with the ''al-'' prefix.

There are cases where the ِArabic word جنة does not refer to any gardens. 5 times it refers to madness, literal meaning is probably "possessed by the jinns" and that is why it has the root j-n-n, just like ''jannah''. | |||
* 1) Verse 7:184 "Then do they not give thought? There is in their companion [Muhammad] no '''madness''' (جِنَّةٍ, ''jinnatin''). He is not but a clear warner." | |||
* 2) Verse 23:25 "He is not but a man possessed with '''madness''' (جِنَّةٌ, ''jinnatun''), so wait concerning him for a time." | |||
* 3) Verse 23:70 "Or do they say: There is '''madness''' (جِنَّةٌ, ''jinnatun'') in him? Nay! he has brought them the truth, and most of them are averse from the truth." | |||
* 4) Verse 34:8 "He has forged a lie against Allah or there is '''madness''' (جِنَّةٌ, ''jinnatun'') in him. Nay! those who do not believe in the hereafter are in torment and in great error." | |||
* 5) Verse 34:46 "Say: I exhort you only to one thing, that rise up for Allah´s sake in twos and singly, then ponder: there is no '''madness''' (جِنَّةٍ, ''jinnatin'') in your fellow-citizen; he is only a warner to you before a severe chastisement." | |||
In two cases it refers to "cover": | |||
* 1) Verse 58:16 "They make their oaths to serve as '''a cover''' (جُنَّةً, ''junnatan'') so they turn away from Allah´s way; therefore they shall have an abasing chastisement." | |||
* 2) Verse 63:2 "They have taken their oaths as '''a cover''' (جُنَّةً, ''junnatan''), so they averted [people] from the way of Allah . Indeed, it was evil that they were doing." | |||
