وَٱلصُّبْحِ إِذَآ أَسْفَرَ
Alternative: travel on a journey
Research rendering: become bright
Substitution fails here: travel on a journey would impose the first unit's predicate on a segment whose frozen form and Quran-internal construction require become bright. This is the concrete contradiction supporting the lexeme partition.
