Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal core tested across all 48 family occurrences, all of which are assigned targets and were partitioned exactly. Form II repeatedly places deeds, provisions, warnings, or offerings ahead of a later encounter; Forms V and X contrast advancing with remaining behind; Form I profiles leading or coming before; and قَدِيم marks what existed earlier. The foot noun names the body part stabilized, slipped, placed below another, seized, and used for standing or advance. The lane-local proposal overlapping 2:110 was inspected as brainstorming only and neither accepted nor used as authority. The checked seven aligned readings preserve the relevant morphology and front-position relation. قَدَمَ صِدْقٍ at 10:2 and the unspecified identity or dimension of ٱلْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ at 15:24 require user review. No exact lexical collision was found.
