قَالَتْ فَذَٰلِكُنَّ ٱلَّذِى لُمْتُنَّنِى فِيهِ وَلَقَدْ رَٰوَدتُّهُۥ عَن نَّفْسِهِۦ فَٱسْتَعْصَمَ وَلَئِن لَّمْ يَفْعَلْ مَآ ءَامُرُهُۥ لَيُسْجَنَنَّ وَلَيَكُونًا مِّنَ ٱلصَّٰغِرِينَ
Alternative: second-person feminine plural referent
Research rendering: feminine-plural deictic address
Substitution fails here: second-person feminine plural referent would impose the first unit's predicate on a segment whose frozen form and Quran-internal construction require feminine-plural deictic address. This is the concrete contradiction supporting the lexeme partition.
