أَوَلَمْ يَسِيرُوا۟ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ فَيَنظُرُوا۟ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَٰقِبَةُ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَكَانُوٓا۟ أَشَدَّ مِنْهُمْ قُوَّةً وَمَا كَانَ ٱللَّهُ لِيُعْجِزَهُۥ مِن شَىْءٍ فِى ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَلَا فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِنَّهُۥ كَانَ عَلِيمًا قَدِيرًا

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal core tested across all 26 family occurrences and targets. Form I states inability; Form IV finite and participial forms profile causing another's capacity to fail or trying to escape divine reach; Form III participles accompany striving against the signs and remain semantically reviewable. عَجُوز profiles a woman whose advanced age is highlighted in contexts of birth or survival. The two أَعْجَاز نخل segments instead name physical palm-trunk bases after destructive wind and are isolated as an exact lexical collision. No protected or pre-run meaning was edited.
