38:31

إِذْ عُرِضَ عَلَيْهِ بِٱلْعَشِىِّ ٱلصَّٰفِنَٰتُ ٱلْجِيَادُ

Why this meaning was chosen

The plural adjective جِيَاد characterizes Sulaiman's horses as excellent performers. The definite جُودِيّ is instead a proper place name on which the ark settles. Quran-internal substitution between qualitative predication and a unique location fails, so the proper name receives an exact lexical-collision branch rather than being forced into the root core.
