43:58

وَقَالُوٓا۟ ءَأَٰلِهَتُنَا خَيْرٌ أَمْ هُوَ مَا ضَرَبُوهُ لَكَ إِلَّا جَدَلًۢا بَلْ هُمْ قَوْمٌ خَصِمُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

All 18 family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Quran 22:19 places the dual party noun beside reciprocal Form VIII, while 38:22 makes the opposed-party structure explicit. The action nouns, participant nouns, party noun, adjective, and reciprocal verb all compose from this single core. No recitation-sensitive or unresolved Quran-internal contradiction remains.
