Why this meaning was chosen
All 16 occurrences were compared. Shackled hands, neck restraints, and the imperative to bind directly establish constraining enclosure. The three inward غِلّ nouns locate a hostile constraint in chests or hearts and remain a same-core inward profile. The three verbs at 3:161 instead describe a culpable act whose acquired object is brought on the Day and therefore form an exact corrupt-appropriation collision. No aligned reading divergence is present.
