SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

limping

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleThe participial form here is used in a verbal sense; 'limping' is more idiomatic and contextually accurate than 'limping ones' which is less natural in English and isn't the best fit for the sense of vacillation or indecision implied here.
