SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

or words

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleChanged P1 'and utterances' to 'or words' to accurately reflect the disjunctive sense of וּ/ (here as a variant of אוּ—'or'), which is supported by context. Also, 'words' is more specific than 'utterances' as per the SILEX definition and context.
