Why this meaning was chosen

All 196 family occurrences were reviewed across two pages. The 52 protected draft occurrences were left untouched, and every one renders the lexical core as good, including explicit comparison constructions. The three compacted candidates agree on good and correctly keep comparison at construction level. Quran 2:221 contrasts a believing servant with an associator, 38:47 applies the plural to selected servants, and 28:68 directly pairs choosing with choice. The 144 frozen targets are partitioned by number, nominal pattern, and derived verbal form; no witness-sensitive context or semantic challenge requires user adjudication.
