Show!
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/complete action), active voice, imperative mood, 2nd person singular — a direct command to one person to perform the act of showing. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active imperative, 2nd person singular, calls for a direct, simple command to cause something to be seen or made visible. "Show!" preserves the core root sense of actively displaying or pointing out without adding contextual nuance. |
