51:29

فَأَقْبَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِى صَرَّةٍ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌ

فَأَقْبَلَتِ ٱمْرَأَتُهُۥ فِى صَرَّةٍ فَصَكَّتْ وَجْهَهَا وَقَالَتْ عَجُوزٌ عَقِيمٌ

Alternative: persist

Research rendering: outcry

At 51:29 Abraham's wife comes in صَرّة, strikes her face, and speaks in surprise about being an old barren woman. That sudden emotional-vocal frame cannot denote knowingly continuing a chosen course, so this exact segment is a lexical collision. The woman approaches in the noun, strikes her face, and immediately exclaims about her age and barrenness, anchoring an emotional outcry.
