89:9

وَثَمُودَ ٱلَّذِينَ جَابُوا۟ ٱلصَّخْرَ بِٱلْوَادِ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered all three occurrences. The feminine noun identifies an individual rock used as a landmark at 18:63 and as a hard enclosing location at 31:16. The masculine collective noun at 89:9 names the rock material carved in the valley. Individuation and mass reference vary without changing the concrete stone core. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
