        DefinitionShort: to cause something to become unclean, profane, or ritually unacceptable{N:001}

        Glosses: ['to make unclean', 'to defile', 'to profane']

        Comments: In a number of languages it is quite impossible to translate literally the concept of ‘unclean,’ for physical cleanliness and ritual acceptability are completely unrelated. In some languages it is necessary to translate κοινόω[a] or βεβηλόω as ‘to take away its holiness’ or ‘to make something unacceptable to God.’ In many cultures one must express this concept as involving so-called negative taboo.
