Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered all three occurrences. The paired feminine noun at 2:138 presents God's imparted coloring as unsurpassed and joins it to exclusive worship, giving the coating image an identity-forming force. The masculine noun at 23:20 names an edible dressing produced by the Sinai tree alongside oil. A coating that imparts character or flavor preserves one core across personal formation and food use. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
