Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered all four occurrences of the broken plural أَكْوَاب. They are circulated with golden dishes in 43:71, listed beside pitchers and a cup of flowing drink in 56:18, circulated as silver vessels made like crystal in 76:15, and set out in 88:14. These coordinated objects establish portable drinking cups within scenes of paradisal service. Case variation follows syntax without lexical change. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
