SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
learning
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The participle μανθάνοντα in context modifies a subject (implied plural 'women'), so 'learning' accurately reflects the participle in English. 'Learning ones' is awkward and not needed in this participial phrase; 'learning' suffices for a context-aware rendering. |
