SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
declaration of
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Solemn utterance of' (P1) is technically correct, but 'declaration of' is more idiomatic and typical for conveying 'neum' in prophetic speech. SILEX allows for such minimal streamlining for clarity and convention. |
