in established confidential council
| Morphological Notes | Preposition בְּ + masculine singular noun in construct state (סוֹד). |
| Rendering Rationale | The preposition בְּ marks "in," and the masculine singular construct noun סוֹד denotes an established circle of confidential deliberation. "Established confidential council" preserves the יסד root sense of something founded or set up, while reflecting its specialized meaning of intimate, trusted counsel. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
in confidential council
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Removed 'established' from P1 for accuracy, as 'besod' conveys 'confidential council'—the SILEX sense references intimate deliberation, not establishment. Kept the specificity and concrete phrase. |
