Word path · where ك-ف-ل falls in the muṣḥaf
Each cell is one page of the 604-page Madanī muṣḥaf, lit in proportion to how many times ك-ف-ل occurs on it. Counted, not interpreted — a bright page is where the word is dense, which is a fact about vocabulary and not a claim about what the page teaches.
Densest in juzʾ 3 (2 occurrences). The longest stretch without it runs 185 pages — pages 92–276, juzʾ 5–14.
