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 17:78 orders prayer at the sun's duluk through the darkness of night and separately names the dawn recitation. This internal sequence supports a solar decline as the starting transition without fixing an external clock time or importing a calendrical definition. The Form I verbal noun, masculine singular form, genitive case after لِ, and sun genitive complement compose locally. No aligned reading payload, counterexample, or unresolved issue is present.
