Word path · where ب-ل-و falls in the muṣḥaf

Each cell is one page of the 604-page Madanī muṣḥaf, lit in proportion to how many times ب-ل-و 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 9 (5 occurrences). The longest stretch without it runs 51 pages — pages 511–561, juzʾ 26–28.
