SIBI-P1 G2967-08
you all, keep hindering!
| Morphological Notes | Verb, present active imperative, 2nd person plural (Gr,V,MPA2,,P,). Present imperative indicates continuous or repeated action; active voice; addressed to multiple hearers. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering reflects the core sense of κωλύω as restraining or preventing. The present imperative active, second person plural, conveys an ongoing or continued command directed to multiple people, hence "keep hindering" and "you all." |
