SIBI-P1 G3853-10
we were passing-along the charge
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect active indicative; first person plural (Gr,V,IAA1,,P,). The imperfect denotes continuous or repeated action in past time; active voice indicates the subject performs the action; indicative mood states it as a factual occurrence. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of παραγγέλλω (παρά, "alongside," + ἀγγέλλω, "to announce/message"), conveying the idea of transmitting an authoritative message. The imperfect active indicative, first person plural, is reflected by "we were," indicating ongoing or repeated past action performed by the speakers. |
