Word path · where م-س-ك falls in the muṣḥaf

Each cell is one page of the 604-page Madanī muṣḥaf, lit in proportion to how many times م-س-ك 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 22 (5 occurrences). The longest stretch without it runs 100 pages — pages 173–272, juzʾ 9–14.
