The Abdur test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Liban's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Abdur climbed just as high around 1978, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Abdur's path sketches the road Liban is walking now.
