SIBI-P1 Translation G1093-01
O land
| Morphological Notes | Noun, feminine, singular, vocative; direct address to the earth/land as a personified entity. |
| Rendering Rationale | The vocative feminine singular form directly addresses the earth/land as a hearer. "O land" preserves the root sense of physical ground or territorial earth while reflecting the vocative case of direct address. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
land
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Changed from 'O land' to 'land' because the word is the object of the preposition and not a vocative; 'land' is contextually accurate here as the sphere ('in all the land'). |
