a better translation of this phrase in the original greek is "stop clinging to me" and it is not in the aorist imperative -a point in time but is an ongoing action. Maybe we should let go of this! Is the pineapple (pine (peiə- vs. kwei-1 in Indo-European roots) after) a citrus fruit? Does it grow on a pine? How is it an apple? No lime tang (h)ere! But maybe, just maybe it is tang kwei root?
