49:13

يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلنَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَٰكُم مِّن ذَكَرٍ وَأُنثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَٰكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَآئِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوٓا۟ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ أَتْقَىٰكُمْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ عَلِيمٌ خَبِيرٌ

Why this meaning was chosen

Both family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; each is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. At 49:13 the plural names large human divisions made from one male and female so that they may know one another. At 77:30 another plural counts three divisions of a single shadow. Broken-plural pattern, number, case, predicative role, and possessive counting construction compose locally. Social groupings and physical shade divisions are contextual members of one branching-from-a-whole core. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
