Why this meaning was chosen
All 27 family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Ten مَدِينَة tokens denote a contextually identified city, three مَدَائِن tokens pluralize such urban places, four corpus-marked proper-name uses identify Medina as the City, and ten مَدْيَن tokens identify the named place or community Midian. Number, case, definiteness, governing preposition, movement direction, construct relation, and the place-to-people metonymy compose locally. The proper names lexicalize particular settlements or communities without Quran-internal contradiction to the inhabited-place core. No aligned reading payload, exact collision, or unresolved issue remains.
