Why this meaning was chosen
At 2:186 the Form IV statement answering a caller's دعوة is followed by the Form X instruction that people respond to God, fixing a single call-and-response relation. The noun جواب and agent مجيب preserve that core. The Form I occurrence at 89:9 instead takes rock as its object in a valley and cannot carry a response rendering, so it is isolated as an exact lexical collision.
