SIBI-P1 G757-06
having-begun-for-himself (nominative masculine singular)
| Morphological Notes | Verb; aorist middle participle; nominative masculine singular (Gr,V,PAM,NMS). Aorist denotes completed action; middle voice indicates self-involvement; participle functions adjectivally or adverbially. |
| Rendering Rationale | The aorist tense conveys a completed action, rendered as "having-begun." The middle voice is reflected with "for himself," preserving the self-involved or self-initiating nuance of the form. The participle in nominative masculine singular is represented as a descriptive verbal adjective modifying a masculine subject. |
