89:9

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ

Alternative: respond

Research rendering: carve

At 89:9 the Form I verb takes rock as its direct object and locates the action in a valley. A response rendering fails against that concrete affected object, and the response witnesses provide no internal bridge to cutting stone. Rock is the direct affected object and the valley supplies the physical setting for carving.
