SIBI-P1 Translation G1581-04
Cut off!
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/decisive action), active voice, imperative mood, 2nd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active imperative, second person singular, calls for a decisive act of cutting out or severing. "Cut off!" preserves the compound sense of ἐκ (out from) + κόπτω (cut/strike) and reflects the direct command form. |
