75:7

فَإِذَا بَرِقَ ٱلْبَصَرُ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered all seven family occurrences. The five lightning nouns are protected by MH-frontier-barq-lightning and were inspected but not edited; their flash illuminates, threatens eyesight, and accompanies storm clouds. Of the two editable targets, the finite verb at 75:7 describes sight entering a visually overwhelmed state, while أَبَارِيق at 56:18 names serving vessels coordinated with cups and a drinking vessel. The text does not give the pitchers a brightness property, so their relation to the protected lightning core remains tentative rather than being forced into an exact collision that the distinct form cannot support. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule. Both the eye-state nuance and the vessel bridge remain segment-linked review points.
