    DefinitionShort: to exercise continuous control over someone or something
    Glosses: ['to control', 'to restrain']
    Comments: There is usually no difficulty in speaking of ‘control’ if it is performed by a person as in {S:06000201300022}. However, it may not be possible to speak of ‘death’ having control, unless the language in question can personify death. In some instances {S:04400202400028} (see {D:37.16}) must be rendered as ‘it was impossible for him to continue to be dead,’ and in {S:04700501400012} ‘Christ’s love controls us’ may be rendered as ‘the fact that Christ loves us causes us to act as we do.’
