Where other meanings fail
late day
14:24
أَلَمْ تَرَ كَيْفَ ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا كَلِمَةً طَيِّبَةً كَشَجَرَةٍ طَيِّبَةٍ أَصْلُهَا ثَابِتٌ وَفَرْعُهَا فِى ٱلسَّمَآءِ
Alternative: the wholesome tree's late day is fixed and its branch is in the sky
Research rendering: the wholesome tree's base is fixed and its branch is in the sky
The possessed noun is a fixed structural support contrasted with the branch, not a time interval.
root
37:64
إِنَّهَا شَجَرَةٌ تَخْرُجُ فِىٓ أَصْلِ ٱلْجَحِيمِ
Alternative: a tree emerges in the botanical root of the Fire
Research rendering: a tree emerges at the base of the Fire
The Fire is a possessed spatial domain, not a botanical organism; the broader foundational base relation is required.
