Morphological NotesVerb; imperfect tense (past ongoing action), active voice, indicative mood, first person plural — "we were coming."
Rendering RationaleThe root ἔρχομαι denotes movement from one place to another, often with focus on arrival. The imperfect active indicative, first person plural (IAA1,,P) expresses ongoing or repeated past action performed by the subject, hence "we were coming," reflecting continuous movement in past time by "we."
