Why this meaning was chosen
All three family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page; every occurrence is a frozen target, with no protected records or compacted candidates. At 83:9 and 83:20 the passive participle directly modifies a book, fixing a marked or inscribed record. At 18:9 the definite derivative ٱلرَّقِيم is coordinated with the cave as something associated with its companions; the rendering 'the Inscription' preserves the lexical marking core without asserting a material, location, or narrative detail not supplied by the Quran. Nominal derivation, passive result, definiteness, case, and adjective agreement compose locally. No exact Quran-internal contradiction, aligned reading payload, or unresolved issue remains.
