Why this meaning was chosen
All fifty-seven family occurrences were reviewed on one bounded page. Thirty-six records are protected by the existing NEEDS_REVIEW hypothesis MH-frontier-qaryah-settlement and remain untouched; the artifact partitions only the twenty-one frozen targets. One target is singular قَرْيَة, nineteen are broken-plural قُرَى, and one is dual قَرْيَتَيْن. Number, case, definiteness, possession, construct relation, governing preposition, and ordinary place-to-inhabitants metonymy compose locally. The singular oppressed settlement, the multiple settlements whose residents believe, are warned, are destroyed, or are fortified, and the two settlements proposed as sources of a notable man all preserve one inhabited-place core. No compacted candidates, aligned reading payload, collision, or unresolved issue remains.
