Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of Form IV يُنْغِضُ at 17:51. Those challenging resurrection direct the action of their heads toward the messenger and ask when it will happen, after being told that the one who created them first will restore them. The explicit head object, directional complement, and scoffing question establish an emphatic bodily gesture of skepticism. With no second occurrence or description of the movement path, the Quran-internal evidence does not independently distinguish a side-to-side shake from an up-and-down toss. The target is third-person masculine plural indicative imperfect with رُءُوسَهُمْ as object in the full clause. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
