Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal core tested across all 65 family occurrences. Nine protected spring records owned by MH-frontier-ayn-spring were inspected but not edited. Of the 56 assigned targets, the eye stream profiles physical eyes, direct sight, eye-comfort, divine watch, and the عِين eye-quality. Twelve uncovered عيون or dual عينان segments instead name flowing springs, while four معين segments name accessible flowing water; both water streams are bounded exact lexical collisions because their clauses require water movement rather than vision. The divine-watch construction and عين اليقين remain explicitly reviewable.
