SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
one
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 mapped to 'in' which is not contextually or lexically accurate for ἓν. Correct rendering is 'one' as the word refers to the numeral in this context. |
| P1 Flag | P1 mapped to wrong root/Strong's; should be 'one' not 'in'. |
