SIBI-P1 G2983-14

to take hold

Morphological NotesVerb; aorist tense (simple/completed aspect), active voice, infinitive mood. The aorist infinitive presents the action as a complete event without reference to duration.
Rendering RationaleThe aorist active infinitive form conveys the simple action of actively taking or grasping something, viewed as a whole. "To take hold" preserves the root sense of grasping or obtaining while reflecting the active voice and infinitive mood without adding ongoing or reflexive nuance.
