Why this meaning was chosen

Quran-internal core tested across all 16 family occurrences and targets. Form I violates loyalty owed to Allah, the messenger, entrusted deposits, another person, or a spouse. Form VIII directs that breach back against the acting selves. The verbal noun names the breach, خائن profiles its agents, and intensive خَوَّان profiles a repeated betrayer. The feminine خائنة is contextualized separately at 5:13 and 40:19 because its precise act-versus-agent scope is not fixed by morphology alone. No protected meaning, audit candidate, or exact lexical collision was present.
