كَلَّآ إِنَّهَا لَظَىٰ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the unrooted proper name لَظَى at 70:15. No ransom can rescue the guilty person, because the threatened punishment is Laza; the following ayahs describe it as stripping the exposed parts and calling those who turned away, amassed, and withheld. The proper-name annotation, feminine pronoun, and destructive continuation establish a named punitive fire. The target is nominative proper name as the predicate of إِنَّهَا. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
