Whereas "the second print" of 1952 brought many changes,
in 73:20 "allan" changed all the time (before and after 1952):
In both the 1924 and the 1952 edition it is one word: أَلَّن
In Kein Standard I show lots of examples of Amiriyya and competitors type set prints,
in this blog I have already twice shown images.
Both Indian
and Maghrebian prints
have it in two words: ان لن ‒ Warš, Dar at-Tunisīya:
Qālūn, Gaddafi's copy:
Qālūn, Tunisian State Edition:
So I dare to say, the Egyptians made a mistake:
which they corrected in 1929 (or before):
The same in 1354/1935:
But the "second print" reverted to the mistake:
While some reprints follow the Amiriyya (especially the "Communists" in Taschkent and Peking, and in Bairut and Paris as well), another Bairuti print reprinted in ʿAmman (and available in archive.org):
and Cologne (Abu'r Rida Muhammad Ibn Ahmad Ibn Rassoul, Islamische Bibliothek,
both Arabic only and with German translation)
and Gaddafi's Islamic Call Society (both the Arabic otherwise photo-reprint and the newly set alongside different translations) correct the mistake
The Amiriyya sticks to their choice, but both Sa'udia (KFC)
and Iran (Center) follow the majority of Muslims:
BTW, the Iranian Center for Printing and Spreading the Qurʾān produce mainly faulty maṣāḥif:
They are the only one who write "an lan" (not al-lan); in a copy that marks silent letters red,
the nūn MUST be red (and the lām must have šadda), whatever the Center may say.
As I have said elsewhere, once you use signs for silent letters, it is stupid (arrogant, inconsidered) not to use them everywhere,
when you show when yāʾs are shortend to /a/, you should show when yāʾ is shortend to /i/ as well (but Gizeh24 and Saudi UT do not do it),
when you have signs for /ā/ and /ī/, why not for /ū/ (but Turkish editors do not have it).
There are editors in Damascus, Jakarta, and Tunis that mark ALL silent letters as silent, but others (Dar al-Maʿrīfa and the Iranian Center) do not.
When you show only the words, not how they are pronounced in a particular context, I can understand,
but to do it sometimes, I do not understand.
