Why this meaning was chosen

Reviewed all seven frozen occurrences on the complete 100-item page. There are no protected meanings, compacted proposals, failure candidates, or aligned witness variants on the target rows. Six nominal rows identify the sunlit forenoon as a time or as the brightness associated with the sun and sky. The lone verb denies being exposed within that open daylight in the Garden. The time, light, and exposure readings therefore remain facets of one Quran-internal daylight core rather than an exact collision.
