Why this meaning was chosen
All 44 family occurrences were reviewed on one page. Quran 12:25-28 anchors the physical rear through a shirt torn from behind; 15:65 uses plural backs for following a departing group; 6:45 and its parallels cut off the final remnant; 10:3 and 32:5 direct an affair through its ordered course; and 4:82 reflects beyond a text's surface to test its consequences. The aligned witnesses at 74:33 divide between Form IV أَدْبَرَ and Form I دَبَرَ, but both make the night recede, so the morphology varies without a semantic challenge. All 44 targets are partitioned by construction and derived form.
