Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered both occurrences. The active participle at 26:4 describes necks remaining yielded to a compelling heavenly sign. The finite verb at 33:32 prohibits the Prophet's wives from making their speech yielding in a way that provokes desire in a diseased heart, contrasting it with recognized speech. Bodily submission and vocal accommodation share lowered firmness, but the sole speech construction does not distinguish tone from wording. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule. That local nuance remains a segment-linked review point; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
