SIBI-P1 Translation G114-03
to set aside
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, infinitive mood. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist active infinitive denotes the simple act of nullifying or invalidating something. "To set aside" preserves the root sense of placing something away from recognition or binding force, reflecting the θετ- (to set/place) stem with the negating prefix. |
