         DefinitionShort: to cause a fire to be extinguished

         Glosses: ['to extinguish a fire', 'to put out a fire']

         Comments: ‘To put out fierce fires’ may be expressed as ‘to cause fierce fires no longer to burn’ or ‘to make large fires stop burning.’ In order to speak of ‘fierce fires’ it may be necessary in some languages to speak of ‘large, hot fires.’

         DefinitionShort: (a figurative extension of meaning of {L:σβέννυμι}[a] ‘to extinguish a fire,’ {D:14.70}) to cause a fervent activity to cease

         Glosses: ['to stop', 'to quench']

         Comments: Though the particular activity of the Spirit is not overtly indicated in the context of {S:05200501900008}, the book as a whole contains sufficient reference to the activity of the Spirit so as to indicate what is involved.

         DefinitionShort: to cease burning, either because of lack of material to be burned or because the fire has been forcibly extinguished

         Glosses: to stop burning

         Comments: The expression ‘our lamps are going out’ may be rendered as ‘our lamps will soon not be burning’ or ‘our lamps will burn only a little bit more.’ It may, however, be misleading to speak of ‘lamps burning’ (see discussion in {D:14.65}), and accordingly, it may be much better to translate ‘our lamps will show light only a little bit more’ or ‘the oil in our lamps will burn only a little bit more.’
