Why this meaning was chosen
Quran-internal comparison across all 13 family occurrences supports substituted release as the shared core. Form III and فداء release captives by exchange; فدية supplies a prescribed substitute for a duty or is denied at final judgment; Form VIII offers something to release oneself from marriage or punishment; Form I replaces Abraham's son with a sacrifice. Candidate LAA-2-84-93-tufadun-ransom was inspected only as non-authoritative brainstorming and was neither mutated nor accepted. No protected or pre-run meaning was edited, and no exact segment set forces a lexical collision.
