SIBI-P1 Translation G501-03
Draw out liquid
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete aspect), active voice, imperative mood, 2nd person plural — a direct command to "you all." |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active imperative, second person plural, issues a direct command to multiple hearers to perform the action. "Draw out liquid" preserves the concrete root sense of extracting fluid by scooping or bailing, without adding contextual specifics. |
