أَمَّا ٱلسَّفِينَةُ فَكَانَتْ لِمَسَٰكِينَ يَعْمَلُونَ فِى ٱلْبَحْرِ فَأَرَدتُّ أَنْ أَعِيبَهَا وَكَانَ وَرَآءَهُم مَّلِكٌ يَأْخُذُ كُلَّ سَفِينَةٍ غَصْبًا

Why this meaning was chosen
The sole family occurrence was reviewed on one bounded page; it is the only frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Quran 18:71 describes making a breach in the boat, and 18:79 explains that the intent was to damage it because a king ahead was taking every boat by force. Form I active imperfect, first-person singular agreement, subjunctive mood after أَنْ, and the attached feminine singular boat object compose locally. The protective purpose remains contextual and does not create another lexical core. No aligned reading payload, counterexample, or unresolved issue is present.
