71:23

وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَذَرُنَّ ءَالِهَتَكُمْ وَلَا تَذَرُنَّ وَدًّا وَلَا سُوَاعًا وَلَا يَغُوثَ وَيَعُوقَ وَنَسْرًا

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of نَسْر at 71:23. The leaders among Noah's people tell their followers not to abandon their deities and then list Wadd, Suwa, Yaghuth, Yauq, and Nasr by name. The explicit gods head noun, coordinated proper-name list, and proper-noun annotation establish a named object of worship. Quran-internal evidence supplies no warrant for replacing the proper name with a translated animal common noun. The target is masculine accusative proper name under the repeated negated abandonment command. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
