Why this meaning was chosen
All five family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page. The accepted MH-lina-was-gentle record at Quran 3:159 remains protected and untouched; the artifact partitions exactly the other four frozen targets, with no compacted candidates. Three targets express softness as gentle speech, causatively softened iron, or skins and hearts becoming soft toward remembrance. Quran 59:5 is an exact lexical collision: لِينَة is a count noun that can be cut or left standing on its roots, syntax that cannot denote a yielding quality. Adjectival case, tense, voice, person, subject coordination, directional complement, causative derivation, and plant-part syntax compose locally. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
