cycles of seven
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common, masculine, plural, absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun שָׁבוּעַ denotes a unit composed of seven, most commonly a week, derived from the root meaning "to be seven." The masculine plural absolute form requires a plural rendering, hence "cycles of seven" to preserve both number and the root concept of a completed seven-unit period. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
weeks
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | While the silex_definition allows 'cycles of seven', the context is clearly about weeks. 'Weeks' is the normal, specific sense here and avoids artificiality, so it replaces 'cycles of seven.' |
