         DefinitionShort: (an idiom, literally: to throw a bridle on) to place restrictions upon someone’s behavior

         Glosses: ['to restrict', 'to control', 'to impose restrictions']

         Comments: It may, however, be important in some languages to express more clearly the intent involved, and therefore one might wish to translate this clause in {S:04600703500022} as ‘my purpose is not to try to control you’ or ‘… to tell you just what you must do.’
