SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
gently
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'he moved softly' misinterprets the sense and morphology; in context, the adverbial 'לָאַט' modifies how the word is given, so 'gently' (adverb) is accurate. |
| P1 Flag | misparsed form: should be adverb, not verb |
