رُكِّبَ مَعَ غَيْرِهِ
Translation: joined with another word in a grammatical construction.

The name «زَيْدٌ» alone does not specify whether it is a subject or object. In «قَامَ زَيْدٌ», the noun is grammatically connected to the verb and its syntactic role is known.

This describes how the noun is used in syntax. It does not mean that an isolated proper name becomes inherently indeclinable.
