Mk 5:35c ... "Why still are-you-flaying the Teacher?"

The fifth phrase has these 5 dialog words, ... ti eti skulleis ton didaskalon ("Why still are you flaying the teacher")?

The 5 dialog words are bottom up. The text uses the harsh verb skullo, meaning to "skin alive" or flay. Bibles mistranslate skullo as "trouble" or "bother" to soften Mark's language. The verb skulleis (to skin alive) inside the equilateral triangle under Jesus can be seen as metaphorically laying out the victim's skin after torturing him. The titular noun "didaskalon" (Teacher) is tangent to Jesus.
