for a banner
A conspicuous sign or standard, typically an upright pole or banner, used as a rallying signal, marker, or emblem; by extension, a raised signal for gathering, warning, or focus, whether physical (such as a flag or pole), or metaphorical (a symbol or portent held up for attention). The term may refer concretely to an object raised to be seen from a distance, or figuratively to an event or entity serving as a focal point.

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
for a standard
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed from 'to a raised standard' to 'for a standard' to match the function and idiom; the preposition לְ is purpose/benefit, and 'standard' is contextually clearer than 'raised standard.' |
