Morphology is an external annotation from the Leeds Quranic Arabic Corpus, licensed GPL-2.0-or-later. It is not Quranic text and never alters the token.

These translations render verse 53:8 — the whole verse this word appears in — not this word alone. The correspondence is verse-level: no word-level alignment of translations exists for these editions, so we do not claim which English word renders this Arabic word. Compare the editions →

This exact form appears only here — it is a hapax in the corpus.
