11:81

قَالُوا۟ يَٰلُوطُ إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَن يَصِلُوٓا۟ إِلَيْكَ فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَكَ إِنَّهُۥ مُصِيبُهَا مَآ أَصَابَهُمْ إِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ ٱلصُّبْحُ أَلَيْسَ ٱلصُّبْحُ بِقَرِيبٍ

15:65

فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱتَّبِعْ أَدْبَٰرَهُمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ وَٱمْضُوا۟ حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ

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 10:78 form I is transitive: the speakers accuse Moses of turning them away from their inherited course. At 11:81 and 15:65 form VIII is reflexive in a night departure and prohibits anyone from turning back. Form I transitiveness, form VIII reflexivity, person, mood, negation, and directional complements compose locally. Abstract redirection and bodily looking back preserve one change-of-orientation core. No aligned reading payload or unresolved issue remains.
