Meaning of 'Alaq: 'Relationships'

Very few people have noted that 'Alaq is plural and not singular. It is from the root of 'alq. If we take this word in sociological sense - in contrast to embryological in which it is generally taken - then its one possible meaning would be "relationships". So, khalaqal insaana min 'alaq will then mean: He (God) created human from relationships. That is, humans depend on relationships for their survival.
