Why this meaning was chosen

All five family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Two قِطْر nouns denote molten copper: it is poured over iron made fiery in 18:96 and made to flow as a spring for Solomon in 34:12. One قَطِرَان noun denotes pitch used as the condemned people's garment material. Two أَقْطَار nouns denote spatial regions of a city or of the heavens and earth. Case, definiteness, construct relation, possession, and number compose within each set. Quran-internal substitution fails: spatial regions can be entered from or passed beyond but cannot be poured onto heated iron, while the flowing metal cannot serve as those traversable regions; the pitch garment term is a distinct material lexeme and cannot name the spring of molten copper or the regions. The pitch and region sets are therefore lexical-collision branches. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
