16:59

يَتَوَٰرَىٰ مِنَ ٱلْقَوْمِ مِن سُوٓءِ مَا بُشِّرَ بِهِۦٓ أَيُمْسِكُهُۥ عَلَىٰ هُونٍ أَمْ يَدُسُّهُۥ فِى ٱلتُّرَابِ أَلَا سَآءَ مَا يَحْكُمُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of Form I يَدُسُّ at 16:59. A man ashamed by news of a female child weighs keeping what he was told of in humiliation against putting it into the soil. The explicit complement فِي ٱلتُّرَاب fixes downward placement into earth, while the preceding hiding from his people and the contrast with keeping establish concealment by burial. The target is a third-person masculine singular indicative imperfect with an attached object pronoun in the full word. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
