68:13

عُتُلٍّۭ بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ زَنِيمٍ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of زَنِيم at 68:13. It closes an extended catalogue of a hostile person's vices and follows عُتُلّ with بَعْدَ ذَٰلِكَ, presenting an additional emphatically negative descriptor. The sequence securely establishes disgraceful characterization, but the ayah supplies no Quran-internal comparator that identifies whether the term's distinctive force concerns an identifying mark, social attachment, outsider status, or lineage. The target is indefinite masculine singular genitive. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
