«الْعُمَرَانِ»
A paired designation used for Abu Bakr and ʿUmar.
The dual is formed on the name ʿUmar while referring to two people with different individual names. This does not change either historical identity or require both persons to be named ʿUmar.
The mechanism is predominance in naming, rather than merely gender agreement or verbal concord.
