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.
