11:106

فَأَمَّا ٱلَّذِينَ شَقُوا۟ فَفِى ٱلنَّارِ لَهُمْ فِيهَا زَفِيرٌ وَشَهِيقٌ

Alternative: for them in it are one forceful sound and that same forceful sound

Research rendering: for them in it are a forceful outcry and a rasping roar

The alternative makes the overt coordination of زَفِير and شَهِيق a meaningless duplication.
