وَلَنَبْلُوَنَّكُم بِشَىْءٍ مِّنَ ٱلْخَوْفِ وَٱلْجُوعِ وَنَقْصٍ مِّنَ ٱلْأَمْوَٰلِ وَٱلْأَنفُسِ وَٱلثَّمَرَٰتِ وَبَشِّرِ ٱلصَّٰبِرِينَ

Why this meaning was chosen

All five family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Four nouns name hunger in testing, punitive deprivation, inability of food to satisfy, and relief through feeding. One form I verb predicates becoming or remaining hungry. Number, definiteness, case, verbal person, mood, negation, and surrounding constructions compose locally. These are contextual uses of one food-deprivation core, not Quran-internal contradictions. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
