SIBI-P1 Translation G264-23
I missed
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple past), active voice, indicative mood, first person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active indicative first singular denotes a simple past action performed by the speaker. "I missed" preserves the root notion of missing the mark or failing, without importing later theological specificity. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
missed
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1's 'I missed' is incorrect because the verb is 3rd person plural ('they missed' or simply 'missed' to correspond with 'all'). 'Missed' maintains the SILEX root meaning and is grammatically correct in context. |
