Exegesis
The second וַיֹּאמְרוּ frames a scornful accusation with הָאֶחָד (haechad {הָאֶחָד | hā-ʾe-ḥāḏ}) “this one” and the infinitive לָגוּר (lagur {לָגוּר | lā-gûr}) portraying Lot as an outsider.
Root and etymology
Rootaleph–chet
“brother”
In context — Genesis 19:9
But they said, “Move aside !” And they said, “This one came here to sojourn , and now he will surely judge! Now we will harm you more than them.” They pressed hard against the man—against Lot—and drew near to break the door.
