The triliteral root ṭā yā rā (ط ي ر) occurs in the Quran 29 times.

(2:260) Abraham said, "My Lord, show me how you resurrect the dead." He said, "Do you not already acknowledge?" He said, "I do, but to assure my heart." He said, "Choose four birds (Arab. الطَّيْرِ, l-ṭayri), then cut them, then place parts of the birds on each mountain, then call them to you; they will come racing towards you. Know that God is Noble, Wise."

(34:10) We granted David blessings from Us: "O mountains, glorify with him, as well as the birds (Arab. وَالطَّيْرَ, wal-ṭayra)." We softened the iron for him.

Determine

(7:131) And when a good thing came to them, they said, "This is for us!" And if a calamity befell them, they conditioned (it) on Moses and those who were with him. That which determine them is from Allah, but most of them are not aware of it.
