56:83

فَلَوْلَآ إِذَا بَلَغَتِ ٱلْحُلْقُومَ

Why this meaning was chosen

All three occurrences were inspected on one bounded page. The form I verb and form II participle both take heads as their explicit object and denote shaving. At 56:83 حلقوم is the bodily point reached as life departs; an anatomical passage cannot perform or receive head-hair removal, so that exact segment is a lexical collision.
