SILEX v2

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)

brother

Same as P1No — adjusted for context
RationaleP1 'a brother' is incorrect because the definite article is present ('the brother'), so P2 should simply be 'brother' to match the Greek accusative with the previous article. This keeps it noun-focused and context-appropriate.
