Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal comparison across all 22 occurrences makes تُرَاب the dominant core: it lies on stone, receives something buried, serves as the material of human creation, and names the postmortem state repeatedly paired with bones. مَتْرَبَة denotes a needy person's dust-bound condition and remains same-core. Three أَتْرَاب occurrences instead qualify Paradise companions as mutually matched, while تَرَائِب at 86:7 names an anatomical locus paired with the back structure; these exact sets cannot denote loose ground matter in their clauses and are isolated as lexical collisions. Their narrower profiles remain reviewable.
