Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal review covered all four occurrences. At 11:80 the noun is a wished-for strong support, while the two finite verbs prohibit or nearly enact leaning toward people. At 51:39 Pharaoh turns away بِرُكْنِهِ, preserving the supporting-side image but leaving whether the expression foregrounds his bodily side, personal strength, or backing unresolved. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule. That sole possessive construction remains a segment-linked review point; no protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
