See the verb in Form 6.

Qur’ān 39:28 approximate — somewhere between 39:5 and 39:45 Lane cites “Kur xxxix. 30”
Qur’ān 39:29 located by this root inside the range Lane’s citation allows
ضَرَبَ ٱللَّهُ مَثَلًا رَّجُلًا فِيهِ شُرَكَآءُ مُتَشَـٰكِسُونَ وَرَجُلًا سَلَمًا لِّرَجُلٍ هَلْ يَسْتَوِيَانِ مَثَلًا ۚ ٱلْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ۚ بَلْ أَكْثَرُهُمْ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

Allah puts forth a Parable a man belonging to many partners at variance with each other, and a man belonging entirely to one master: are those two equal in comparison? Praise be to Allah! but most of them have no knowledge.Abdullah Yusuf Ali, The Holy Qur’ān (1934)

Qur’ānic occurrences مُتَشَٰكِسُون
39:29

Occurrences of this form in the Qur’ān, not Lane’s choice of verse. They show the word in use; they do not say which sense above applies. Where more occur than are shown, the shortest āyāt are chosen.
