Why this meaning was chosen
Reviewed all three frozen occurrences on the complete 100-item page. There are no protected meanings, compacted proposals, failure candidates, or aligned witness variants on the target rows. Two إبل rows identify a livestock class with male and female members and call attention to its creation. أبابيل instead qualifies birds sent upon the army and organizes them as multiple companies. Quran-internal substitution fails across those referents, so the bird-company adjective is isolated as an exact lexical collision despite the assigned root grouping.
