SIBI-P1 Translation G29785-01
he was bursting apart
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect active indicative; 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IAA3,,S,). The imperfect denotes ongoing or progressive past action, expressed actively by a singular subject ("he"). |
| Rendering Rationale | The verb λακάω carries the sense of cracking or splitting open with force. The form ἐλάκησεν is parsed here as imperfect active indicative, third person singular, which conveys ongoing or unfolding past action; therefore "he was bursting apart" reflects both the vivid root meaning and the imperfect aspect of continued action in the past. |
