SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
of human beings
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'אָדָם' here is best rendered as 'of human beings' to match the construct form and to clarify that the trade involved humans. This keeps the specificity from SILEX and the construct relationship. |
