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 36:39 says the moon was assigned stages until it returns like the old urjun. The comparison supports the aged stalk image while the Quranic wording does not name its plant species, so the draft does not add one. The definite masculine singular genitive noun after comparative كَ and the adjective ٱلْقَدِيمِ compose locally. No aligned reading payload, counterexample, or unresolved issue is present.
