SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
in his wood
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'His wood' is contextually more natural than 'his tree' here, as it likely refers to a wooden object of divination rather than a literal tree. 'Wood' retains the close sense from the silex_definition and improves contextual fit. |
