SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
eighteen
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The P1 'eight' is only the first half of the feminine compound numeral; in context with the next word ('-esreh teen-suffix'), together they mean 'eighteen.' For accurate context-aware rendering, this slot must be 'eighteen.' |
