SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

sleep of

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleSIBI-P1 gave 'year of', which is incorrect for the meaning of שנת in this context. The noun here means 'sleep,' not 'year.'
P1 FlagP1 incorrectly mapped to the root for 'year' (שנה H8141) instead of 'sleep' (שֵׁנָה H8142).
