إِنَّآ أَنزَلْنَآ إِلَيْكَ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ بِٱلْحَقِّ لِتَحْكُمَ بَيْنَ ٱلنَّاسِ بِمَآ أَرَىٰكَ ٱللَّهُ وَلَا تَكُن لِّلْخَآئِنِينَ خَصِيمًا

16:4

خَلَقَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنَ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ

36:77

أَوَلَمْ يَرَ ٱلْإِنسَٰنُ أَنَّا خَلَقْنَٰهُ مِن نُّطْفَةٍ فَإِذَا هُوَ خَصِيمٌ مُّبِينٌ

Why this meaning was chosen

All 18 family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Quran 22:19 places the dual party noun beside reciprocal Form VIII, while 38:22 makes the opposed-party structure explicit. The action nouns, participant nouns, party noun, adjective, and reciprocal verb all compose from this single core. No recitation-sensitive or unresolved Quran-internal contradiction remains.
