Why this meaning was chosen
Reviewed all three frozen occurrences on the complete 100-item page. There are no protected meanings, compacted proposals, failure candidates, or aligned witness variants on the target rows. The two Form I rows pair the facial contraction with further grimacing or turning away. The adjective transfers that grim expression to the feared day, making its severity confront people like a frowning face. Person and personified day share one visible severity core.
