Since baptize here is a figure of speech as a forensic act rather than an
ontological one, does not one have to ask what the significance of the
action is in order to render the term?  ...which is probably out-of-bounds
for this list.

BAPTIZW is a technical term and should simply be translated as "to
baptise."
