Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered all 24 family occurrences while leaving the one protected pre-run draft at 2:60 unchanged and outside this artifact. Water explicitly breaks from stone at 2:74, dawn distinguishes a white line from the black line of night at 2:187, and the moral derivatives are contrasted with the restrained at 38:28 and 91:8. Physical release, daybreak, and moral boundary-breaking therefore remain compositional realizations of one core.
