SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
the wicked
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | SIBI-P1 'guilty man' misses the intended sense; here, it refers to 'the wicked' as a group/noun, per SILEX. The demonstrative prefix הֲ/ at the start is interrogative, but SIBI-P1 ignores this, but requirement is word-for-word alignment, so 'the wicked' best fits this token. |
