ذَوَاتَآ أَفْنَانٍ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the plural noun أَفْنَان at 55:48. The two gardens promised to those who fear their Lord are described as possessing these, before their springs and paired fruits are detailed. The possessed plural in a garden setting supports abundant branching vegetation. Because there is no second occurrence or explicit plant head noun, the Quran-internal evidence does not completely decide whether the expression foregrounds literal boughs or diversified kinds of growth. The target is indefinite masculine plural genitive after the dual possessive ذَوَاتَا. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
