3:183

ٱلَّذِينَ قَالُوٓا۟ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَهِدَ إِلَيْنَآ أَلَّا نُؤْمِنَ لِرَسُولٍ حَتَّىٰ يَأْتِيَنَا بِقُرْبَانٍ تَأْكُلُهُ ٱلنَّارُ قُلْ قَدْ جَآءَكُمْ رُسُلٌ مِّن قَبْلِى بِٱلْبَيِّنَٰتِ وَبِٱلَّذِى قُلْتُمْ فَلِمَ قَتَلْتُمُوهُمْ إِن كُنتُمْ صَٰدِقِينَ

12:48

ثُمَّ يَأْتِى مِنۢ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ سَبْعٌ شِدَادٌ يَأْكُلْنَ مَا قَدَّمْتُمْ لَهُنَّ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا مِّمَّا تُحْصِنُونَ

34:14

فَلَمَّا قَضَيْنَا عَلَيْهِ ٱلْمَوْتَ مَا دَلَّهُمْ عَلَىٰ مَوْتِهِۦٓ إِلَّا دَآبَّةُ ٱلْأَرْضِ تَأْكُلُ مِنسَأَتَهُۥ فَلَمَّا خَرَّ تَبَيَّنَتِ ٱلْجِنُّ أَن لَّوْ كَانُوا۟ يَعْلَمُونَ ٱلْغَيْبَ مَا لَبِثُوا۟ فِى ٱلْعَذَابِ ٱلْمُهِينِ

105:5

فَجَعَلَهُمْ كَعَصْفٍ مَّأْكُولٍۭ

Why this meaning was chosen

Reviewed all 109 Quran-family occurrences across both required 100-item pages. The 77 frozen targets were partitioned exactly; 32 protected imperative consume records owned by MH-frontier-akala-imperative-consume were treated only as context and were not edited. No compacted proposal or failure required adoption. Seven aligned witnesses were inspected at 2:174, 4:10, 5:42, 12:48, 34:14, 89:19, and 105:5. At 89:19 Al-Duri and Al-Susi display third-person plural ويأكلون where the other aligned witnesses display second-person plural وتأكلون; the referent shift does not change the consumption branch. The one-core test retains literal ingestion, resource appropriation, edible yield, and destructive depletion as Quran-internal applications of taking in until used up.
