Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal core tested across all 102 family occurrences. Active and passive verbs directly state producing offspring and being born; the parent, mother, child, and youth nouns profile participants in that relation. Nursing, pregnancy, birth, inheritance, and reciprocal parent-child duties anchor the relation without outside lexical authority. Intended adoption at 12:21 and 28:9 extends the child role relationally, while repeated denials of divine offspring retain the same claimed relation. The contextual المولود له construction at 2:233 renders father, whereas the unqualified passive participle at 31:33 renders one born. No compacted candidate, recitation-sensitive lexical split, collision, or unresolved semantic challenge remains.
