SIBI-P1 G599-08
to die off
| Morphological Notes | Verb, aorist active infinitive (Gr,V,NAA). The aorist denotes a simple or completed action; active voice; infinitive mood expressing purpose, result, or complementary action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb combines ἀπό (away, off) with θνῄσκω (to die), conveying the sense of dying away or off. The aorist active infinitive form expresses the act of dying as a complete event, so "to die off" preserves both the root components and the aspectual force of the aorist infinitive. |
