Why this meaning was chosen

Reviewed all 21 frozen occurrences on the complete 100-item page. There are no protected records, compacted proposals, failure candidates, or aligned witness variants on the target rows. The one-core test retains footprints, consequences, monuments, inherited patterns, a remnant of knowledge, transmitted speech, and Form IV preference as placing one option forward over another. Each context preserves either a remaining mark or advancement into precedence, so Quran-internal evidence supplies no exact lexical collision.
