وَلَوْ شِئْنَا لَرَفَعْنَٰهُ بِهَا وَلَٰكِنَّهُۥٓ أَخْلَدَ إِلَى ٱلْأَرْضِ وَٱتَّبَعَ هَوَىٰهُ فَمَثَلُهُۥ كَمَثَلِ ٱلْكَلْبِ إِن تَحْمِلْ عَلَيْهِ يَلْهَثْ أَوْ تَتْرُكْهُ يَلْهَث ذَّٰلِكَ مَثَلُ ٱلْقَوْمِ ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَٱقْصُصِ ٱلْقَصَصَ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَتَفَكَّرُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal comparison inspected all 87 family occurrences while editing only the 13 assigned targets. The 74 protected خالد participles repeatedly profile continued residence and reinforce the same core. Editable خلد and خلود nouns name enduring punishment, garden, life, or day; finite Form I profiles continued residence; Form IV profiles persistent attachment or caused permanence; Form II passive participles characterize the attendant youths. The last two derived profiles remain reviewable. All records owned by MH-frontier-khalidun-abiding were left untouched, and no exact target set forces a lexical collision.
