19:23

فَأَجَآءَهَا ٱلْمَخَاضُ إِلَىٰ جِذْعِ ٱلنَّخْلَةِ قَالَتْ يَٰلَيْتَنِى مِتُّ قَبْلَ هَٰذَا وَكُنتُ نَسْيًا مَّنسِيًّا

Why this meaning was chosen

The sole family occurrence was reviewed on one bounded page; it is the only frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Quran 19:22-26 recounts Mary's pregnancy, says labor drove her to the trunk of a palm, then comforts her and provides food and drink. The definite masculine singular nominative noun functions as the subject whose force compels her toward the trunk. No aligned reading payload, counterexample, or unresolved issue is present.
