75:8

وَخَسَفَ ٱلْقَمَرُ

Why this meaning was chosen

All eight family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Seven form I verbs describe God causing the earth to sink with people, dwellings, or a landward side; tense, person, mood, conditional force, participant بِ phrases, and earth object compose locally. At 75:8 the moon is the intransitive subject and loses its normal visible state during the final upheaval. Earth engulfment and lunar eclipse are contextual manifestations of sinking from surface or visibility, not an exact Quran-internal contradiction. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
