SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
make fat
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'the rich oil' incorrectly supplies a noun and is contextually inaccurate; the Hebrew is a causative imperative verb. Corrected to verbal form 'make fat' to reflect a command: cause to become fat. SILEX supports primary causative fattening meaning. |
| P1 Flag | wrong root/P1 maps to noun instead of verb (should not be 'oil') |
