Why this meaning was chosen

All three family occurrences were reviewed on one page with the seven aligned recitation witnesses. The witnesses show established vocalic forms such as جِبْرِيل and جَبْرِيل or جَبْرَئِل, but every form names the same angel Gabriel; case variation likewise does not alter the referent.
