year-cycles

SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
with scarlet
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | The word means 'scarlet' (the color/material), not 'year-cycles' as in P1; this was a P1 lexical error due to wrong root match. |
| P1 Flag | genuine error: P1 uses the wrong Strong's/root—should be 'scarlet' (H8144), not 'year-cycles'. |
