20:66

قَالَ بَلْ أَلْقُوا۟ فَإِذَا حِبَالُهُمْ وَعِصِيُّهُمْ يُخَيَّلُ إِلَيْهِ مِن سِحْرِهِمْ أَنَّهَا تَسْعَىٰ

26:44

فَأَلْقَوْا۟ حِبَالَهُمْ وَعِصِيَّهُمْ وَقَالُوا۟ بِعِزَّةِ فِرْعَوْنَ إِنَّا لَنَحْنُ ٱلْغَٰلِبُونَ

Why this meaning was chosen

All twelve family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page. Exactly two plural عِصِيّ segments are frozen targets; ten singular عَصَا records remain protected under MH-frontier-asa-staff and were not edited. Both targets name the magicians' staffs alongside their ropes, first as seeming to move and then as objects thrown. Plural number, nominative versus accusative case, and attached possessive suffixes compose locally. There are no compacted candidates, aligned reading payloads, Quran-internal counterexamples, or unresolved issues.
