[quote] Dear Friend, "Daraba" has many shades. You already have explored a few in Quran, let me add a few more. [/quote]

I sincerely hope you remain a dear friend, whatever our differences may or may not be.
As you outlined a word can have many different meanings & the the Quran tells us to select the best meaning. 
I am sure some of your enlightened Arab friends will also tell you that the quranic Arabic is very different to the much of Arabic today (This is purely what many of my eduacted Muslim & non muslim Arab friends tell me).

For me the best meaning is not to beat, in the verse under discussion, regardless what the consensus may be (I am afraid one of my many vices is that I dont simply accept something just because it is a consensus amongst a certain group. My concience and my mind is my main criterea but then as I have said before each to his own).

I dont think I can take this discussion any further.
For me it is clear that there is zero justification for wife beating (I Have oulined my reasons already) & I can live with that.
If you believe that Quran allows wife beating then that is your progative...However then trying to justify by downgrading the force really smacks of logical desperation. Beating of any kind is a humiliation which i dont believe a merciful Allah would allow a man to inflict on his wife. However you are welcome to disagree...as above I am afraid i cannot really take this any further.
