Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal review covered all five occurrences. Four finite Form I predicates direct hot liquid, water, or punitive force downward onto a target; the cognate verbal noun at 80:25 intensifies the water-pouring action. Explicit فوق and على complements repeatedly establish directed descent, while the whip-of-punishment construction extends the same concentrated application beyond liquid. The aligned-reading field supplies no variant requiring a separate rule. No protected meaning was edited and no exact lexical collision was found.
