Across locales

What each covering migration carries for this concept, per locale — the whole-brain view, not filtered by your language. Forms are the migration's leaf values (pre-transform, pre-human-verdict); a locale without a form falls back to canonical English. Chips open that locale's live docs page for this term.

Explanation

'عيّن' (ʿayyin) means 'to assign' or 'to appoint'. It better reflects the action of assigning a value to a variable when using 'let' in a programming context. 'خلّي' (khalli) feels more like 'allow' or 'leave', which isn't the primary function of 'let'.

Issue breakdown

  • consistency While 'خلّي' isn't *wrong*, it feels less idiomatic for variable declaration than a more direct equivalent of 'assign'.
