21:33

وَهُوَ ٱلَّذِى خَلَقَ ٱلَّيْلَ وَٱلنَّهَارَ وَٱلشَّمْسَ وَٱلْقَمَرَ كُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ

36:40

لَا ٱلشَّمْسُ يَنۢبَغِى لَهَآ أَن تُدْرِكَ ٱلْقَمَرَ وَلَا ٱلَّيْلُ سَابِقُ ٱلنَّهَارِ وَكُلٌّ فِى فَلَكٍ يَسْبَحُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

All 25 family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Twenty-three tokens are vocalized فُلْك and denote the ark or seagoing craft that are built, boarded, loaded, carried upon, or made to run through the sea; case and collective reference compose locally. Two tokens are vocalized فَلَك and denote the celestial course in which the sun and moon move. A spatial course containing celestial motion cannot be boarded, built, or carry passengers, creating an exact Quran-internal lexical collision confined to 21:33 and 36:40. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
