SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
in its season
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 says 'in his appointed time,' but in this context, the pronoun should be neuter ('its') and 'season' better reflects the typical idiom for agricultural rain. The SILEX definition allows for 'season.' |
