وَمِن شَرِّ غَاسِقٍ إِذَا وَقَبَ
Why this meaning was chosen
All four occurrences were compared. غَسَقِ اللَّيْل anchors the canonical core in deep nightfall, and غَاسِق provisionally profiles a darkening presence when it enters. The two exact غَسَّاق segments instead denote something tasted in punishment beside boiling liquid. A consumable punitive substance contradicts a temporal darkness state and is isolated as an exact lexical collision. Its material identity and the narrower referent of غَاسِق remain explicit review questions. No aligned reading divergence is present.
