18:38

لَّٰكِنَّا۠ هُوَ ٱللَّهُ رَبِّى وَلَآ أُشْرِكُ بِرَبِّىٓ أَحَدًا

Why this meaning was chosen

This artifact covers only the 83 frozen alif targets; the 225 occurrences already protected by accepted first-person-plural and dual analyses remain excluded. Eighty-two targets are first-person plural: after أَنَّ, interrogative إِنَّ, or plural لَكِنَّ the suffix renders 'we', while after مِن, عَن, لَدُن, or تَأْمَن it renders 'us'. The remaining 18:38 target occurs in singular discourse with رَبِّى and represents the contracted first-person singular in لَكِنَّا, so it is isolated as a grammatical surface collision rather than forced into the plural partition.
