SIBI-P1 G1280-01
he was continually being thoroughly at-a-loss
| Morphological Notes | Verb; imperfect active indicative, 3rd person singular (Gr,V,IIA3,,S,). The imperfect denotes ongoing or repeated action in past time; active voice; indicative mood, stating a fact. |
| Rendering Rationale | The rendering preserves the root sense of ἀπορέω (to be without resources or a way) intensified by διά (through, thoroughly), conveying deep perplexity. The imperfect active indicative (3rd person singular) is reflected by "was continually being," expressing ongoing past action rather than a simple momentary confusion. |
