two-edged
A sharp edge or point, especially of a cutting implement; frequently used in the phrase 'edge of the sword,' but can also refer to the sharp point or cutting surface of any tool or weapon. The term highlights the dangerous, destructive, or decisive function of the 'mouth' or 'edge' of such implements, sometimes by extension referring to a figurative edge (as in 'double-edged' to express increased sharpness or destructive potential).

SIBI-P1 Translation H6374-01
cutting edges
| Morphological Notes | Noun, common; plural; absolute state. |
| Rendering Rationale | The noun derives from the root idea of a 'mouth' as an opening or biting edge, and in this reduplicated form denotes the sharp, cutting edges of an implement. The plural absolute form is preserved by rendering it as 'edges.' |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
edges
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | 'Two-edged' is the common context, but since Hebrew literally says 'edges' (dual), this rendering is context-faithful while remaining root-accurate. 'Cutting edges' (P1) slightly overinterprets; 'edges' alone maintains accuracy and matches SILEX. |
