The Arabs had alot of words for the stars. Each word had a different description.
 
The word NaJM ( ن
َجم ) refers to small stars
 
The word KaWkab (
كَوكَب ) refers to the Big stars.
 

The KaWkab stars would be stars which were extremely big (stellars?), firmly located, and could always be seen in one specific location in the dark night sky, clearly. They would be used by the people for
direction - to Navigate and find their way in a journey through the darkness of the night.
 
The NaJm stars would not be like KaWkab stars. The NaJm would be small stars which would Twinkle, so one second you see it, and after that you might never see it again.
 
 

NaJm
:
The word NaJm in Arabic has the letter Jeem (J) as its 2nd root consonant letter. Anyone studying basic Arabic Tajweed (recitation) knows that Jeem (J) is a Qalqalah (Echo in recital letter)) Letter.
= This Qalqalah makes the word NaJm sound like 'NaJam'. This Qalqalah (echo of recital) of letter Jeem depicts a sound-image of a star which has twinkled, and vanished again. ('NaJAm')
 
KaWkab - the word kaWkab in Arabic has the letter Waaw (W) placed in between. This 'W' in arabic (being placed after the 1st Root letter) signifies the object is BIG.

It is further strengthened by a repeat of the 2 same letters; the 'Kaafs' (Letter K's) on each of its sides = showing that this star is BIG, and also FIRMLY PLACED/LOCATED.
 
 
The Quranic Aayaat:
 

وَإِذَا النُّجُومُ انكَدَرَتْ

And when the NuJoom [(plural of Najm) Twinkling small stars]  are InKadarat (Takweer 81:2)


 inKidar - Kadar = losing sparkle, colour and beauty, and becoming dulled.

Antonym/Opposite: saf-faa - pure and crystal clear.
 


وَإِذَا الْكَوَاكِبُ انتَثَرَتْ

And when the KaWaakib [(plural of KaWkab) Big stars] are InTatharat
(Infitar 82:2) 

iNtithaar - Nathr = Dispersed & fallen in different directions.
 
So the Big stars which people turned to for guidance and direction in the worldly life have vanished on this Day (Judgment Day):
 

The Stars (NaJm) which had that Twinkle have become dulled.
 
The Big Stars (KaWkab) which were firmly placed/located in the sky have now fallen.


All this is shown through just 2 pairs of words; Najm and Inkidaar, KaWkab and InTithaar.
 
This shows the power of Allah's speech and the Arabic language He created; how He uses the perfect words with the perfect letters and sounds to depict the deep level of Images describing Judgment Day.
