of being loosened
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense, passive voice, participle; genitive, neuter, plural — indicating ongoing action experienced by multiple entities in a genitive relationship. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
being dissolved
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'of being loosened' does not capture the contextual sense; in 2 Peter 3:11 the participle refers to the dissolution of all things, so 'being dissolved' is more accurate. |
