Research rendering: year

The sole حجج token is governed by the explicit number eight, followed by an option to complete ten, and defines the duration of contracted service. Rendering it as pilgrimage, argument, or proof would contradict that Quran-internal counted-duration syntax, so the collision is restricted to M028A027W013S01. Eight such units are required for service and may be completed as ten, fixing an annual duration.
