86:17

فَمَهِّلِ ٱلْكَٰفِرِينَ أَمْهِلْهُمْ رُوَيْدًۢا

Alternative: press toward consent

Research rendering: a little while

Substitution fails here: press toward consent would impose the first unit's predicate on a segment whose frozen form and Quran-internal construction require a little while. This is the concrete contradiction supporting the lexeme partition.
