Notes: {'Caller': 1, 'LanguageCode': 'en', 'LastEdited': '', 'LastEditedBy': '', 'References': [], 'Content': 'It is possible that there are some significant differences in meaning between the set μαίνομαι / μανία and the set παραφρονέω / παραφρονία, but the difference is likely to be more connotative than denotative, as, for example, the distinction in English between crazy and insane.'}

    Comments: It may be necessary in some languages to restructure the expression ‘stopped the prophet’s insane action.’ This can often be done by saying ‘prevented the prophet from acting like a crazy person.’ In other languages παραφρονία is best rendered by an idiomatic expression such as ‘wandering thoughts’ or ‘twisted thoughts.’
