28:7 and 20:39 both use اليم without a name. 20:39 says the chest will be cast by the water onto the shore where an enemy picks it up; still no name, no country. If we put a pin on any river we are adding what the verse does not say. I propose the moment stays unpinned and the evidence panel records the silence, with any proposed identification shown as grade C or D on the wiki rather than on the map.

Which river? The text says اليم only. Should the map show no pin for this moment at all?Verified findings about Moses
The word اليم (al-yamm)3 verified findings
Aاليم occurs eight times in the Quran (2:50, 7:136, 20:39 twice, 20:78, 20:97, 28:7, 28:40, 51:40). In each occurrence it is a body of water; a proper name never appears beside it.Aالسَّاحِل (the shore) in 20:39 is the only place-like word in the river scene and occurs once in the whole Quran. It is a common noun, not a name.ADecision carried to the map and the timeline: Moses moment 1 has no map pin. The timeline card records that the text names no river; proposed identifications are listed below as tested ideas.
