Mk 4:6b ... "and because the (sprout) not did-it-have a-root, it-withered."

The 3rd and 4th phrases have these 7 dialog words, ... kai dia to mē echein rhizan eksēranthē ("and because the (sprout) not did-have a-root, it-withered").

The 7 words are top down. The first 3 words "kai dia to" (and because the) have a missing but understood word (a sprout) that gives sense to the phrase. The words "rhizan eksēranthē" (a root it withered) are tangent to the "rock-like-place" and "withered sprout leaves," which in turn is tangent to the "sun 318," which in turn is tangent to the "scorched root" and "withered leaves." The understood word "sprout" has a scorched root, withered leaves, and no "depth of soil." The sprout is dead because two rocks blocked its "rhizan" (root) from reaching to the "bathos gēs" (depth of soil) below.
