66:5

عَسَىٰ رَبُّهُۥٓ إِن طَلَّقَكُنَّ أَن يُبْدِلَهُۥٓ أَزْوَٰجًا خَيْرًا مِّنكُنَّ مُسْلِمَٰتٍ مُّؤْمِنَٰتٍ قَٰنِتَٰتٍ تَٰٓئِبَٰتٍ عَٰبِدَٰتٍ سَٰٓئِحَٰتٍ ثَيِّبَٰتٍ وَأَبْكَارًا

Why this meaning was chosen

All 12 occurrences were inspected. The protected بِكْر segment at 2:68 remains untouched under its accepted owner. The nine editable temporal nouns denote the opening part of the daily cycle, repeatedly contrasted with evening. The two أَبْكَار segments denote women in a first marital state, explicitly contrasted with previously married women at 66:5. These realizations share an unpreceded initial-state core. No candidate, aligned reading divergence, or unresolved semantic question remains.
