         DefinitionShort: to shake something out or off, in order to get rid of an object or a substance

         Glosses: ['to shake off', 'to shake out', 'to shake from']

         Comments: In a number of languages quite different terms for shaking will be required for the contexts of {S:04402800500008} and {S:04200900500036}, since in the first instance it is an animate being which clings, and in the second instance it is simply a substance that adheres.|In a number of languages, however, the symbolic meaning of ‘shaking dust off one’s feet’ is not at all clear, so that it may be necessary to add a type of classifier to indicate that such an action symbolizes the breaking off of association. It is for this reason that the expression ἐκτιναξάμενος τὰ ἱμάτια in {S:04401800600012} is often translated as ‘he protested by shaking the dust from his clothes.’
