Word path · where خ-ل-ف falls in the muṣḥaf
Each cell is one page of the 604-page Madanī muṣḥaf, lit in proportion to how many times خ-ل-ف 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 11 (12 occurrences). The longest stretch without it runs 34 pages — pages 539–572, juzʾ 27–29.
