Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the feminine collective noun شِرْذِمَة at 26:54. Pharaoh refers to Moses' departing people by this noun and predicates قَلِيلُون of them. The demonstrative subject and plural adjective establish a collective human group; the separate adjective supplies their asserted small number rather than requiring smallness inside the noun's core. The target is indefinite feminine nominative singular. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
