| Oct 1, 2023 at 12:30 | comment | added | Peter - Reinstate Monica | Interesting -- the Duden lists "Einhalt bieten" as a synonym for "Paroli bieten". One could interpret that as a little weaker than "gebieten": "Paroli bieten" means to muster resistance; "Einhalt bieten" could be more of a challenge than the absolute command of "gebieten". The parallel use suggests itself because the perfect participles are indistinguishable ("ihm wurde Einhalt geboten" can be either verb). | |

I simply read over it and my error bell didn't ring.-- One may add that "gebieten" means "to command, to order", so the phrase "Einhalt gebieten" makes implicit sense (with "Einhalt" meaning "stop" or "arrest" in the sense of "arrested development"). | |
