SIBI-P1 Translation G3089-19

Loosen!

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple, complete action), active voice, imperative mood; 2nd person plural — a command addressed to multiple hearers.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist active imperative, second person plural, issues a direct command to perform the act of loosing or releasing. "Loosen!" preserves the core root sense of separating by removing bonds, without narrowing it to a specific context.
