Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of خُرْطُوم at 68:16. After a hostile person is described through moral vices and false claims, God says he will be branded upon this facial part. The branding construction establishes a prominent bodily surface and the condemnatory sequence supports a degrading expression. The ayah alone does not independently decide whether English should preserve the animalizing force with snout or use the anatomically neutral nose, so snout remains for user review. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
