SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
redeemed ones
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed from 'kinsman-redeemed ones' to 'redeemed ones'; while the root is the kinsman-redeemer, in this context it describes the people as 'redeemed'; the modifier 'kinsman' is unnecessarily specific in context. |
