Why this meaning was chosen
Reviewed the sole frozen occurrence on the complete 100-item page. There are no protected meanings, compacted proposals, failure candidates, or aligned witness variants on the target row. In 3:41, Zechariah's sign is that he will not speak to people for three days except رمزًا. The explicit exclusion from speaking establishes an alternative nonverbal communicative act; the parallel sign in 19:10-11 likewise culminates in communication to his people without ordinary speech.
