SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
exhaustive use
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Streamlined to 'exhaustive use' for clarity; 'to' removed since dative construction is better conveyed by 'by the exhaustive use' in English. Matches the force of the Greek noun as the means of decay. |
