35:27

أَلَمْ تَرَ أَنَّ ٱللَّهَ أَنزَلَ مِنَ ٱلسَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَأَخْرَجْنَا بِهِۦ ثَمَرَٰتٍ مُّخْتَلِفًا أَلْوَٰنُهَا وَمِنَ ٱلْجِبَالِ جُدَدٌۢ بِيضٌ وَحُمْرٌ مُّخْتَلِفٌ أَلْوَٰنُهَا وَغَرَابِيبُ سُودٌ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered all 19 occurrences. Sixteen occurrences are controlled by solar setting or explicit contrast with the east. The two raven nouns at 5:31 instead denote a bird digging in the ground, and the color term at 35:27 modifies black mountain bands. Those exact sets are recorded as frozen-root lexical collisions rather than being forced into the directional core.
