that which is full
| Morphological Notes | Adjective functioning substantively; neuter singular (nominative or accusative), describing a thing characterized by fullness or complete filling. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
full
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | As with position 4, 'that which is full' should be contextually rendered as 'full' since it modifies 'sponge' (σπόγγον), describing its state, not as a noun. |
