like-a-sprout

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
like a sprout
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Removed 'of' because in context the phrase 'like a sprout' is being used directly as a simile, not as a construct; the Hebrew preposition 'כְּ' (like/as) governs 'sprout,' not a construct chain. |
