Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered the sole occurrence of the broken plural جِفَان at 34:13. The workers under Solomon make these vessels among his requested works; they are compared with reservoirs and coordinated with firmly fixed cauldrons. The size comparison and vessel coordination establish large basins rather than small individual cups or architectural structures. The target is an indefinite plural after the partitive listing construction. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
