| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist active imperative, 2nd person singular (second aorist form). |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active imperative, second person singular, issues a direct command to perform the act of seeing or perceiving. "See!" preserves the root sense of visual perception while conveying the force of an immediate imperative. |
