أَمْ أَنَا۠ خَيْرٌ مِّنْ هَٰذَا ٱلَّذِى هُوَ مَهِينٌ وَلَا يَكَادُ يُبِينُ
وَلَا تُطِعْ كُلَّ حَلَّافٍ مَّهِينٍ
أَلَمْ نَخْلُقكُّم مِّن مَّآءٍ مَّهِينٍ
Why this meaning was chosen
The adjective qualifies the fluid of human generation twice, Moses within Pharaoh's disparaging comparison, and a habitual oath-taker within a list of censured traits. The referent-specific renderings all preserve diminished esteem rather than requiring separate physical and moral cores.
