حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا بَلَغَ مَطْلِعَ ٱلشَّمْسِ وَجَدَهَا تَطْلُعُ عَلَىٰ قَوْمٍ لَّمْ نَجْعَل لَّهُم مِّن دُونِهَا سِتْرًا

سَلَٰمٌ هِىَ حَتَّىٰ مَطْلَعِ ٱلْفَجْرِ

Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal comparison across all 19 family occurrences supports movement into exposure as the shared core. Form I and its event and locus nouns profile sunrise; the tree noun profiles growth that comes forth; Form IV grants access to what was unseen; Form VIII profiles gaining access, looking upon, ascending toward, or rising over. The fire-over-hearts clause and the exact botanical profile remain explicitly reviewable. No protected or pre-run meaning was edited, and no exact segment set forces a lexical collision.
