ἔθου
ethou
have you put
a prolonged form of a primary (which is used only as alternate in certain tenses); to place (in the widest application, literally and figuratively; properly, in a passive or horizontal posture, and thus different from ἵστημι, which properly denotes an upright and active position, while κεῖμαι is properly reflexive and utterly prostrate):--+ advise, appoint, bow, commit, conceive, give, X kneel down, lay (aside, down, up), make, ordain, purpose, put, set (forth), settle, sink down.

SIBI-P1 G5087-11
Place for yourself
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/decisive aspect), middle voice (reflexive or self-involved), imperative mood (command), 2nd person singular. A direct command addressed to one person, emphasizing personal engagement in the action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb τίθημι fundamentally means "to place" or "to set." The aorist imperative calls for a single, decisive action, while the middle voice indicates personal involvement or action done for one’s own interest. "Place for yourself" preserves both the core placement sense of the root and the reflexive/self-involving force of the middle imperative. |
