SIBI-P1 Translation G2948-02
limb-impaired men
| Morphological Notes | Substantive adjective; accusative masculine plural. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Limb-impaired" reflects the SILEX emphasis on physical disability of a hand or foot, preserving the root sense tied to abnormal movement. The masculine accusative plural form is conveyed by the plural noun "men" functioning as a substantive adjective. |

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
limb-impaired ones
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed from 'limb-impaired men' to 'limb-impaired ones' for consistency with neighboring phrases ('lame ones', 'blind ones'). 'Men' is too restrictive in context; the Greek plural is inclusive. This matches the semantic range of the Greek and the rendering pattern. |
