36:78

وَضَرَبَ لَنَا مَثَلًا وَنَسِىَ خَلْقَهُۥ قَالَ مَن يُحْىِ ٱلْعِظَٰمَ وَهِىَ رَمِيمٌ

51:42

مَا تَذَرُ مِن شَىْءٍ أَتَتْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا جَعَلَتْهُ كَٱلرَّمِيمِ

Why this meaning was chosen

Both family occurrences were reviewed on one page. In one, رَمِيم describes bones that have decayed; in the other, it supplies the comparison for what the destructive wind leaves behind. Both preserve the same disintegrated-state core.
