Why this meaning was chosen

All 71 occurrences were compared Quran-internally. Direct spatial contrasts with the left establish the rightward pole; hand, possession, light, book-receipt, and eschatological-company constructions extend that pole through locally stated relations. Twenty-five occurrences instead take predicates such as being idle, contracted, broken, expiated, or used as a shield and therefore form an exact sworn-commitment collision. The analysis does not import a historical bridge between the collision and the right-side core, and it does not expand the imagery at 39:67 beyond the Quranic wording. No aligned reading divergence is present.
