13:4

وَفِى ٱلْأَرْضِ قِطَعٌ مُّتَجَٰوِرَٰتٌ وَجَنَّٰتٌ مِّنْ أَعْنَٰبٍ وَزَرْعٌ وَنَخِيلٌ صِنْوَانٌ وَغَيْرُ صِنْوَانٍ يُسْقَىٰ بِمَآءٍ وَٰحِدٍ وَنُفَضِّلُ بَعْضَهَا عَلَىٰ بَعْضٍ فِى ٱلْأُكُلِ إِنَّ فِى ذَٰلِكَ لَـَٔايَٰتٍ لِّقَوْمٍ يَعْقِلُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered both occurrences of صِنْوَان in 13:4. The ayah contrasts palms that are صِنْوَان with palms that are not صِنْوَان, while all are watered with one water and differ in produce. This contrast establishes a joined or clustered growth configuration rather than a fruit quality or water source. The single ayah does not independently specify whether the joining is precisely at root, trunk base, or another structural level, so clustered is provisional and the finer botanical scope remains for user review. Case variation follows syntax; the aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule, no protected meaning was edited, and no exact lexical collision was found.
