يُوسُفُ أَيُّهَا ٱلصِّدِّيقُ أَفْتِنَا فِى سَبْعِ بَقَرَٰتٍ سِمَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَسَبْعِ سُنۢبُلَٰتٍ خُضْرٍ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَٰتٍ لَّعَلِّىٓ أَرْجِعُ إِلَى ٱلنَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ
Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered the full nine-occurrence family. The two editable targets are the repeated feminine plural بَقَرَات in Pharaoh's dream and its restatement to Joseph: seven fat cows are eaten by seven lean ones. The other seven occurrences, including singular بَقَرَة and collective بَقَر, are protected under MH-frontier-baqar-baqar and MH-frontier-baqarah-baqarah; they were inspected for family coherence but not edited. All contexts identify bovine livestock, while number and gender determine the target rendering. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was mutated and no exact lexical collision was found.
