بَلْ عَجِبُوٓا۟ أَن جَآءَهُم مُّنذِرٌ مِّنْهُمْ فَقَالَ ٱلْكَٰفِرُونَ هَٰذَا شَىْءٌ عَجِيبٌ
Why this meaning was chosen
All 27 occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page, with no protected segments or compacted candidates. Quran 11:72 presents unexpected childbirth in old age as عَجِيب and 11:73 immediately asks whether the woman experiences the Form I reaction, directly linking stimulus and response. Form IV makes an object impress an experiencer, often while the wider context warns that the impression can mislead; the action noun names a wonder, and the two adjective patterns grade the surprising quality. No recitation-sensitive or unresolved contradiction remains.
