وَكَذَّبَ ٱلَّذِينَ مِن قَبْلِهِمْ وَمَا بَلَغُوا۟ مِعْشَارَ مَآ ءَاتَيْنَٰهُمْ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ رُسُلِى فَكَيْفَ كَانَ نَكِيرِ

Why this meaning was chosen

All 27 family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page. The 16 protected cardinal occurrences remain owned by MH-frontier-cardinal-ten and were not edited; Quran 2:196 internally anchors ten as three plus seven, while 7:142 anchors it as the amount added to thirty to complete forty. The uncovered عِشْرُون and مِعْشَار derive compositionally as twenty and one tenth. The social forms cannot bear a numerical rendering: Quran 4:19 directs the Form III action toward wives, and 9:24 coordinates عَشِيرَة with parents, children, siblings, spouses, and possessions. They are therefore recorded as a Quran-internal lexical collision centered on close association. All seven witnesses preserve عِشَار in 81:4, but the verse itself only says that its referents are left unattended, so their identity remains explicitly unresolved.
