The Greek that is translated in English as “scoffed,” “sneered,” or “ridiculed” is translated in Kafa as “made mouths crooked” (source: Loren Bliese) and in Elhomwe as “squeeze lips.” (Source: project-specific translation notes in Paratext)
In the German translation by Fridolin Stier (1989) it is translated as “turn up their noses (lit.: “wrinkle their noses”)” (Nase rümpfen).
