Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered all seven occurrences. Six common-noun targets identify husbands in marital, reconciliation, kinship, and modesty contexts. The proper-name target at 37:125 is an exact-segment lexical collision: Baal is invoked as a deity and contrasted with the best of creators, a referential role incompatible with the spousal core. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited.
