Why this meaning was chosen
All six family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Four active form I verbs place a hostile party within reach in combat or enmity; two passives present people wherever they are caught or found. Tense, person, number, mood, conditional force, emphatic suffix, voice, and object pronouns compose locally. 'Come upon,' 'catch,' and hostile control are contextual renderings of one reach-within-power core, not separate Quran-internal meanings. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
