SIBI-P1 Translation G1837-01
has been echoed forth
| Morphological Notes | Verb; perfect tense, passive voice, indicative mood, 3rd person singular. |
| Rendering Rationale | The perfect tense conveys a completed action with ongoing result, and the passive voice marks the subject as having undergone the action of sounding out. "Has been echoed forth" preserves the outward-projected sound inherent in the ἐκ + ἠχ- compound and reflects the completed-yet-present effect. |

SILEX v2
SIBI-P2 (Context-Aware)
has sounded forth
| Same as P1 | No — adjusted for context |
| Rationale | Adjusted to the more natural idiomatic English for this passive verb. 'Has been echoed forth' (P1) is unnecessarily awkward; 'has sounded forth' fits context and SILEX definition. |
