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.
