Word path · where ر-ع-ي falls in the muṣḥaf
Each cell is one page of the 604-page Madanī muṣḥaf, lit in proportion to how many times ر-ع-ي 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 27 (2 occurrences). The longest stretch without it runs 228 pages — pages 87–314, juzʾ 5–16.
