Does the word "hajr" also mean "to bind", and thus Qur'an 4:34 can also be interpreted to imply "tie up your wife and force her to have sex"?

Qur'an 4:34 (other translations at Islam Awakened ) says: > ... But those [wives] from whom you fear arrogance - [first] advise them; **[then if they persist], forsake them in bed**; and [finally], strike them. ... > > ... وَاللَّاتِي تَخَافُونَ نُشُوزَهُنَّ فَعِظُوهُنَّ وَاهْجُرُوهُنَّ فِي الْمَضَاجِعِ وَاضْرِبُوهُنَّ فَإِنْ أَطَعْنَكُمْ فَلَا تَبْغُوا عَلَيْهِنَّ سَبِيلًا ... However, regarding this verse TheQuranDilemma.com claims: > While the word hajr is interpreted to mean “to refuse to share their beds,” the word hajr has several meanings. **One of these meanings indicates the hajr of the camel when the owner binds the animal with a hijar, or rope. This disturbing interpretation means that the term used in Q 4.34 (“refuse to share their beds”) can actually mean to bind the wife and force her to have sexual intercourse.** > > This meaning is the adopted view of al-Tabari , a renowned classical Islamic commentator. Other scholars, who also support this interpretation, state “it means to tie them up and force them to have [sexual] intercourse.” I want to fact-check this claim. **Question**: Does the word "hajr" also mean "to bind", and thus Qur'an 4:34 can also be interpreted to imply "tie up your wife and force her to have sex"? The purportedly problematic word seems to be هْجُرُ (abandon ), although I'm not 100% sure about this. It doesn't seem to have the meaning ascribed to it by TheQuranDilemma.com.
