Form III directly addresses another; خِطَاب profiles the resulting discourse or claim; خَطْب marks the consequential matter about which someone is questioned; and خِطْبَة brings a marriage intention into stated consideration. The exact force of فَصْلَ الْخِطَاب at 38:20 remains a segment-linked review question. No collision or aligned reading divergence is present.
