    Glosses: to not be able to speak
    Comments: It is possible that {L:σιωπάω} in {S:04200102000008} means only ‘to say nothing’ or ‘to remain silent’ ({D:33.117}), in which case it would probably be better to reverse somewhat the order and translate ‘and you will not be able to speak but will remain silent until the day these things happen.’

    DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of {L:σιωπάω}[a] ‘to be silent,’ {D:33.117}) the process of becoming calm after a storm
    Glosses: ['to become calm', 'to become still']
    Comments: In a number of languages it is not possible to translate σιωπάω[c] literally as ‘be still’ since this might imply continue to remain still. Since there is a change in state, it may be necessary to say become still or cease to be stormy.
