قَالُوٓا۟ أَضْغَٰثُ أَحْلَٰمٍ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحْلَٰمِ بِعَٰلِمِينَ

Where other meanings fail

exercise settled restraint

12:44

قَالُوٓا۟ أَضْغَٰثُ أَحْلَٰمٍ وَمَا نَحْنُ بِتَأْوِيلِ ٱلْأَحْلَٰمِ بِعَٰلِمِينَ

Alternative: exercise settled restraint

Research rendering: mixed dream images

Substitution fails here: exercise settled restraint would impose the first unit's predicate on a segment whose frozen form and Quran-internal construction require mixed dream images. This is the concrete contradiction supporting the lexeme partition.
