SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
counselor
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 ('counseling one of') misrepresents the nominal form in context. The Hebrew singular noun here is best rendered as 'counselor' (an advisor), matching the context and SILEX definition. Changed to fix this error. |
