SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
sharp
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Contextually, 'sharp ones' refers to the quality of the feet, functioning adjectivally, so 'sharp' fits better here. The Greek phrase is 'sharp the feet of them' or 'their feet are sharp', describing the feet themselves rather than a separate entity. |
