SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
his head
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Standardized from "of his head". The phrase means “not a hair of his head (shall fall)” and the standard possessive rendering “his head” accurately conveys the meaning. The context does not require the alternate genitive phrasing “of his head,” so for consistency the standard should be used. |
