SIBI-P1 Translation H7201-01
and the sight-raptor
| Morphological Notes | Conjunction ו + definite article ה + common noun, feminine singular absolute. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the root ראה (“to see”) by highlighting the bird’s defining trait—keen sight—while identifying it as a raptor. The conjunction and definite article are preserved as “and the,” and the feminine singular noun is rendered as a singular bird name. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and the kite
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Context is a list of unclean birds; 'kite' is the standard, contextually accurate term for the referenced species. P1 'sight-raptor' reflects the etymology but not the established identification, so it is corrected to 'kite'. |
