Why this meaning was chosen
All 96 family occurrences were reviewed on one page, with no protected segments or compacted candidates. Quran 5:30 anchors a biological brother, Quran 20:40 anchors a biological sister, Quran 7:65 calls Hud the brother of his people, and Quran 49:10 extends the same relation to believers and immediately uses the masculine dual. The lexical relation remains stable across biological, nursing, tribal, covenantal, and faith contexts; the exact 96-segment partition is purely gender and number composition. No witness-sensitive context or unresolved challenge remains.
