Partial definition[edit]

This word I looked up as I read Mark 13:2 in the 1938 Ramattu: jaottamatta. I do not know how to paste the whole verse or add to the entry a properly formatted example of this vocabulary item. I do not know Finnish well enough to give an authoritative definition. It appears to mean 'to be dislodged from a superior position,' 'to be forcibly or unwillingly, or violently moved,' or 'cast down.'. The frequentative, however, is 'to divide.'

Partial definition[edit]

Jaottamatta seems to be causative: 'to cause to be apart, disassembled, broken, divided, or moved downward.' Littleglassworld (talk) 13:05, 5 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
