17.22 · Stances and Events Related to Stances · Prostrate as an Act of Reverence or Supplication
to prostrate oneself before, to fall down before to prostrate oneself before someone, implying supplication A strictly literal translation of προσπίπτω[a] or πίπτω[c], namely, to fall down before, can be entirely misleading in that it may suggest an accident caused by stumbling or tripping. It may therefore be necessary in a number of languages to translate to bow down low before or to bow down to the ground before.

23.105 · Physiological Processes and States · Live, Die
to die (a figurative extension of meaning of πίπτω[a] ‘to fall,’ 15.118) to fall down, as a euphemistic expression for a violent death It is rare that one can employ a literal meaning of πίπτω as a euphemistic expression for ‘dying,’ since receptors are too likely to understand ‘to fall’ in a purely literal sense.
68.49 · Aspect · Cease, Stop
to stop, to cease, to fail (a figurative extension of meaning of πίπτω[a] ‘to fall,’ 15.118) to cease, with the possible implication of failure For another interpretation of πίπτω in 1CO 13:8, see 75.7.
13.122 · Be, Become, Exist, Happen · Happen
to happen to, to fall upon to happen suddenly to, with the connotation of something bad and adverse In this particular context it may be necessary to be somewhat more specific concerning the blindness that Elymas experienced. For example, one may render this expression as ‘suddenly a dark mist covered his eyes’ or ‘suddenly the eyes of Elymas became dark and misty’ (see 24.40).
13.59 · Be, Become, Exist, Happen · Change of State
to fall from, to worsen to change for the worse, with emphasis upon extent and suddenness
13.97 · Be, Become, Exist, Happen · Exist
to cease, to come to an end, to fall to cease to exist in a particular post or position

90.71 · Case · Experiencer
to come to experience, to experience, to encounter, to be beset by to experience somewhat suddenly that which is difficult or bad
30.107 · Think · To Choose, To Select, To Prefer
Collocation: ὁ κλῆρος πίπτει ἐπί τινα
to choose by lot, to select by lot (an idiom, literally: the lot falls upon someone) the process of choosing, with the probable implication of discerning God’s will in this manner In some societies the closest natural equivalents of deciding by lot are procedures involving ‘drawing straws’ or ‘throwing dice’ or ‘throwing down sticks’ or ‘dropping pebbles.’
24.93 · Sensory Events and States · Pain, Suffering
Collocation: πίπτω ἐπί τινα
to cause to suffer, to cause pain to (an idiom, literally: to fall upon someone) to cause someone suffering or harm It is rare indeed that this idiom can ever be produced literally in other languages, though it may be possible to preserve some of the figurative impact by translating ‘nor will the heat of the sun ever cause them to suffer.’
87.56 · Status · High Status or Rank [including persons of high status]
Collocation: τῷ ἰδίῳ κυρίῳ στήκει ἢ πίπτει
honor or disgrace depends on the person whom one serves (an idiom, literally: to his own master he stands or falls, probably a familiar adage) whether one maintains one’s status or relationship to a master depends on the masters judgment or evaluation
56.32 · Courts and Legal Procedures · Judge, Condemn, Acquit
Collocation: ὑπὸ κρίσιν πίπτω
to be condemned, to suffer condemnation, to be judged guilty (an idiom, literally: to fall under judgment) to be condemned for acting contrary to laws and regulations In the context of JAS 5:12 the condemnation refers to God’s judgment.
1 In both instances (15.118 and 15.119) καταπίπτω may be somewhat more emphatic in meaning than πίπτω in view of the prefixial form κατα. 2 πίπτω[c] and προσπίπτω[a] (17.22) differ to some extent from προσκυνέω[b] (17.21) in that they focus primarily upon the actual position rather than upon the intent of showing reverence or making supplication. προσκυνέω[b] is the more formal term and focuses more upon the attitude of reverence or honor.
