1. Green lady said "Karuliz?" while white lady said "a sentinel"
2. Green lady's speech was said by green lady, who is not a sentinel, while white lady is
If the statues reacted to point 2, it means they are programmed to kill anyone who'd read out loud what's written on the walls. If they reacted to point 1, it means they are programmed to kill those who fail to translate correctly, but it makes less sense given how they call green lady a liar.
