T-kalila-saih-R31-v1 — «باب السائح والصائغ», the answered arm

Not an independent rendering. text.txt is T-kalila-saih-R30-v1 with thirteen substitutions and nothing else changed: at each place where the Arabic has a sound figure, one English sound device of the target's own. Every edit is listed with the words it replaced in ../../../experiments/E-20260816-answering-figure/materials/arms.json; the regime is ../../../regimes/R31-answered-figure.md.

1,861 words against the base's 1,862. Contamination is inherited from the base, which was measured clean against Knatchbull 1819 before this arm existed; the thirteen edits touch 58 words.

The translator's log for this text is the base's log, frozen at bd87990, plus the edits and device fields of arms.json, frozen at d002893 before any body was dispatched. No evaluative claim is made here.
