SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
and has hurried
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | P1 'and she hurried' incorrectly assigns third-feminine singular, but here the verb should be understood impersonally as 'and has hurried' (possibly referring to the foot in v.8). Adjusted for correct impersonal context. |
