80:15

بِأَيْدِى سَفَرَةٍ

Alternative: travel on a journey

Research rendering: scroll bearers

Substitution fails here: travel on a journey would impose the first unit's predicate on a segment whose frozen form and Quran-internal construction require scroll bearers. This is the concrete contradiction supporting the lexeme partition.
