Word path · where ن-ك-ح falls in the muṣḥaf
Each cell is one page of the 604-page Madanī muṣḥaf, lit in proportion to how many times ن-ك-ح 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 2 (6 occurrences). The longest stretch without it runs 251 pages — pages 99–349, juzʾ 5–18.
