Why this meaning was chosen

The sole family occurrence was reviewed on one bounded page; it is the only frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. Quran 38:31-33 says the poised, swift steeds were displayed to Solomon in the evening, were returned to him, and had their legs and necks stroked. This internal sequence supports a poised standing description without requiring an external claim about exact hoof posture. The Form I active participle and feminine plural agreement compose locally; the source morphology carries a genitive case annotation. No aligned reading payload, counterexample, or unresolved issue is present.
