         DefinitionShort: to cause something to be reduced in number or extent

         Glosses: ['to shorten', 'to decrease', 'to reduce in number']

         Comments: There may be difficulties involved in a strictly literal rendering of ‘those days will be shortened,’ for it might appear that each day would become shorter rather than that the number of days would be decreased. Therefore, one must render this expression in {S:04002402200034} in a number of languages as ‘those days will be fewer.’
