SIBI-P1 G615-09
to kill off
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist active infinitive (Gr,V,NAA). The aorist denotes a simple or complete action; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; infinitive form expresses the verbal idea without person or number, typically functioning as a verbal complement. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb combines ἀπό (away/off) with κτείνω (to kill), conveying the sense of killing off or slaying outright. The aorist active infinitive form expresses the action as a complete, decisive act, and the rendering "to kill off" preserves both the root force and the aspect of a single, whole action. |
