Keep carrying
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (ongoing), active voice, imperative mood, 2nd person plural — a command to multiple people to continue performing the action. |
| Rendering Rationale | The present active imperative, second person plural, calls for an ongoing or continuous action commanded to multiple hearers. "Keep carrying" preserves the root sense of bearing or transporting while reflecting the present imperative aspect. |
