qafaa (qaf, fa, alif maqsooraa) is a valid root 17:36 says laa taqfoo not laa taqiffoo, this is probably your dialect getting in the way.

# perhaps a bit off-topic, but either way the verse is one of the most abused verses! seems some peepz have made it their pretext to:
* reject selectively and without sufficient proof what the shiites and sunnis say
** incorporate selectively and without reason(s) what the non-muslims and wannabes say
## u then have wannabes quoting "unprovable" statements ( mostly from non-muslims), and in complete disregard of their own understanding of the verse accepting the same at face-value...hypocrisy is their mark! (-:
so whatever the sunnis and the shiites say, even though corroborated by the quran, is deemed as unacceptable, while that which comes from christians and jews and others (including those hostile to islam) becomes the basis of their religion! :-S
# these "quran-aloners" are lexicon-aloners, jew+christian+others-aloners, hearsay-aloners and the like: they will testify to any lie and unverified info as long as it suits their own faith...much like afghani of yore and crone in recent times...a curious marriage of disbelief and pretence!
